Fortnite Logs 44.7 Million Players in a Single Day After Bringing Back OG Map

Fortnite broke its records after reaching a total of 44.7 million players in a single day, right after the game brought back the original map.

#FortniteOG Sparks New Season

With the new season coming last November 3, it featured the original map from Chapter One. In addition, classic weapons and items that were greatly missed by the OG players are also back in the game.

In an X post, the Fortnite team sent its regards to the massive support from the gaming community which helped accumulate 102 million hours of play upon the release.

According to the game's website, each Fortnite OG major update will debut a different phase of Battle Royale's past starting with Chapter One Season Five. It will also feature Shopping Carts, ATK, the Pump Shotgun, Assault Rifle, and more in Battle Royale and Zero Build.

Fortnite Brings OG Pass, OG Shop, and More

The new OG Pass is equipped with over 50 new in-game items. The good news for gamers is that they can unlock all the cosmetic rewards in the Pass within four weeks. Players can purchase the OG pass for only 950 V-Bucks and they can earn up to 1,000 V-Bucks as they progress in the Pass.

Meanwhile, the item shop also took a trip down to memory lane with the OG Shop. However, do note that the outfits and accessories are only available for a limited shop with new curated selections appearing daily.

Content creators within the Support-A-Creator program of Fortnite can host content featuring the Lobby Track on YouTube and have it monetized for seven days starting November 3. However, the team reminded that they cannot prevent clips from getting flagged for Twitch creators that will stream using the track.
