While Fortnite has hosted other major artists in the past, Eminem’s return — with Snoop Dogg and a posthumous Juice WRLD collaboration premiering a new track — was destined to pull in massive numbers. Fans who remember the chaos of Eminem’s first in-game concert (complete with server crashes and delays) knew to expect an enormous audience.
The previous record for a Fortnite concert was not officially declared by Epic Games but was estimated using data from streaming platforms. Twitch reported that 186,000 streamers went live in the Fortnite category during Eminem’s concert, marking a historic high for the gaming category.
With Eminem at the helm, the combination of rap legends and Juice WRLD’s legacy created an unforgettable moment for fans. The numbers only prove what many already know: Eminem’s influence remains unmatched, whether on stage, in-game, or online.
