Fortnite Battle Royale has officially reached craze status. As a free-to-play game, however, downloads and players don't translate directly into sales -- players have to spend money on in-game cosmetic items for developer Epic Games to make a profit. A new report from SuperData estimates that people are indeed doing that in droves, and also that Fortnite has now surpassed chief rival PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Superdata estimates that Fortnite Battle Royale beat PUBG in terms of total revenue in February with $126 million compared to PUBG's $103 million, though it's unclear how Superdata arrived at those numbers. But despite the similar gameplay, there are some important differences on who can play these games and how they pay for them. Fortnite is free-to-play across PS4, Xbox One and PC, and is currently in a pilot program on iOS with Android to follow. PUBG is a $29.99 purchase on PC and Xbox One.
