"Fortnite's OG Chapter 1 Season Start Breaks Playercount Records"

Fortnite has experienced its highest playercount in years, reaching 5.8 million concurrent players, after launching an OG version of the game's original map and reintroducing classic zones and weapons. This resurgence comes at a challenging time for Epic Games, which recently laid off employees due to Fortnite's declining profitability. However, this nostalgic return is expected to be temporary, as the game will continue to progress into Chapter 5 after a month. While this move has generated excitement, it may only serve as a band-aid solution for Fortnite's larger underlying issues.
