Speaking to the draw that Epic Games commands with the one time live events that it has created for Fortnite, the over three million combined viewers across Twitch and YouTube show that the interest in the battle royale title has not dwindled as much as some have said it has in recent months. 

High profile Twitch streamer Tyler "Ninja" Belvins led the way for viewership on the Amazon owned streaming platform with over 350,000 viewers throughout the cube event. YouTubers TheGrefg (453,000 viewers) and Willyrex (368,000 viewers) led the way for viewership on YouTube throughout the duration of the one time cube event that took place on Sunday. 

It remains to be seen what Epic Games has in store for the community of the massively popular battle royale title of Fortnite following the awe inspiring one cube event, but for the mean time the developer can take pride in the fact that its one time only live cube event was able to draw over three million viewers in a gaming spectacle that will not be forgotten any time soon.
