The Fortnite phenomenon may be cooling off a bit. Superdata today released its worldwide digital game spending report for May (https://www.superdataresearch.com/us-digital-games-market/), estimating that Epic Games' survival shooter broke $300 million in monthly revenue for the first time, but was only up single-digit percentages month-over-month.
Superdata put Fortnite's revenues for May at $318 million, up 7% from April. Going by the firm's figures, Fortnite revenues had been up 33% month-over-month in April (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-05-24-fortnite-god-of-war-break-monthly-revenue-records-superdata), and up 73% in March (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-04-26-fornite-earned-usd223-million-in-march-superdata). The game's growth in May was powered primarily by the console version, as mobile and PC revenues were essentially flat month-over-month.
