Fortnite had its ‘biggest ever day’ with 44m players, following original map return
06.11.2023 - 11:31 / videogameschronicle.com
Fortnite enjoyed its biggest 24-hour period in history over the weekend, thanks to its Fortnite OG event.
According to a tweet posted on the game’s official Twitter account, the game saw record player counts on Saturday, November 4.
“Way to start things off with a big bang,” reads the tweet, which was posted on Sunday. “We’re blown away by the response to Fortnite OG.
“Yesterday was the biggest day in Fortnite’s history with over 44.7 million players jumping in and 102 million hours of play. To all Fortnite players, OG and new, thank you!”
According to third-partner Fortnite trackerFortnite.GG, the game hit its all-time peak concurrent players during this period, with a peak of 6,172,463 people playing the game at the same time at one point.
Initially launched on November 3 and running until December 2, the month-long Fortnite OG season promises to take fans of Epic‘s battle royale on a trip down memory lane.
The Fortnite map has reverted to the Chapter 1 island, meaning players will be able to battle it out across returning points of interest including Tilted Towers, Risky Reels, Greasy Grove and Loot Lake.

“Throughout Fortnite OG, each major update will bring a different phase of Battle Royale’s past, starting with Chapter 1 Season 5,” Epic said in a blog post last week.
“That means Shopping Carts, ATKs, the Assault Rifle, Pump Shotgun, and more in both Battle Royale and Zero Build.”
Returning players may be in for a slight shock, however, because last month the price of Fortnite V-Bucks was increased in numerous regions, including the US (and other countries that use USD in Fortnite) and all Eurozone countries.

This gaming chair was already excellent value - but Black Friday just made it even cheaper
Gaming chairs have a tendency to cost an arm and a leg. That fact really makes things tricky if you're shopping online for Black Friday, because it's already hard enough to judge the quality and comfort of a seat by looking at pictures. When you look at prices, the stakes feel extremely high, because it's not like a pricey high-end chair is a mistake you'll be able to afford twice.

Disappointment for Satya Nadella! Sam Altman to return to OpenAI as CEO
The OpenAI saga appears to be coming to a conclusion with one final twist, as OpenAI has just announced that Sam Altman will be returning to the company as the CEO. Alongside, he will also get a new board to work with. This means that he will not be joining Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to lead his AI research team, as announced by him earlier. The move comes after reports of mass resignation came from within the company with as many as 500 employees demanding Altman be reinstated. This would also mean that the tenure of interim CEO Emmett Shear comes to an end. It is not clear whether Greg Brockman will join the CEO to return to OpenAI.

DayZ's just hit its highest-ever player count a decade after its standalone release
The original DayZ mod was released in 2012 to near-instant popularity and, come December, it'll be ten years since the standalone game entered early access on Steam. Originally launched in a pretty barebones state, the idea was always to build-out DayZ over the years to come and Bohemia Interactive has done just that: with a sizeable patch last week leading to the game's largest number of concurrent players ever: 69,449, per Steamdb.
