Minecraft Tops Fortnite in Google Trends For the First Time in a Year and a Half! Is Fortnite Beginning to Fade Away Like PUBG?

Things Don’t Look Good for Epic Games

Minecraft

Before Fortnite got popular the only big battle royal game in the market was PUBG which was making Bluehole billions and billions of Dollars and it became the top played game on Steam very fast. When Fortnite battle royal was released it started gaining traction due to the fact that many big streamers started regularly playing the game live and the game brought something new to the genre and stole a lot of PUBG’s player base. Gamers were beginning to get bored of PUBG as the game didn’t get new content a lot so they quickly jumped to Fortnite which was way more polished and got new content regularly. Fortnite began to steal Minecraft’s player base as well and the game started losing players very fast but now, the tables have turned and Minecraft is back on top!
