Fortnite

Fortnite redefined live-service gaming with real-time events like the 10-million-player Travis Scott concert, outperforming #7's static content updates. Its building mechanic introduced a unique skill ceiling, with pros averaging 200+ builds per match. Cultural crossovers with Marvel and Star Wars attracted 15 million concurrent players during events, transforming it into a social platform. This 2017 title remains a data-led phenomenon, cheaper than typical triple-A expansions.
