Here's What We Know
According to the analyst, Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X owners spend an average of over 200 minutes in the game, which equates to three hours and twenty minutes, which is, frankly, an impressive figure. It is likely that the availability of the game in Game Pass contributed to such an impressive number of players, especially considering that Fortnite offers free access.
As for the future development of the game, the developers are focusing on solving various problems and bugs, while improving artificial intelligence and game mechanics. Pocketpair also plans to add new raid bosses as the game's end game content, expand PvP, improve the construction system, and add support for cross-play.
