Fortnite's Epic Weekend with Nostalgic OG Release.

If you were wondering why your teenager was glued to video games this weekend, the answer may be the launch of Fortnite OG.

In its biggest weekend ever, video game maker Epic Games launched Fortnite OG, bringing players back to some of the game’s original settings and breaking its all-time one-day player record in the process.

“Really fun games never go out of style and never go out of date,” said Victor Lucas, a gaming expert behind television series Electric Playground.

Over 44.7 million players joined on Saturday, logging a total of 102 million hours of play to make it the biggest day in Fortnite’s history, the game’s official account posted on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter, Sunday.

An all-time high of more than 6.1 million players were enjoying the game at once on Sunday, according to live stats tracker Fortnite.gg.
