It’s impressive that Fortnite competitions have ticket security to rival a Taylor Swift concert, indicative of how popular this battle royale title has become.
The World Cup features some ludicrous price money, boasting a price pool of $30 million. Winners of Solo and Duo tournaments will net $3 million each, while $50,000 will go to other participants.
Fortnite remains the biggest game in the world right now, attracting millions of players across multiple platforms since its inception. And if you’re any good, there could be some money in it for you.
