</p>
<p>Fortnite creative director Darren Sugg revealed on <a href="https://twitter.com/DarrenSugg" target="_blank">Twitter</a> that the long-gestating title had sold over 500,000 digital pre-order copies. This number doesn&#8217;t reflect the full number of sales after the game&#8217;s release, nor does it take into account how many retail pre-order copies were sold.
</p>
<p>&quot;Absolutely humbled by the response to this week&#8217;s @FortniteGame launch,&quot; Sugg tweeted. &quot;500k+ digital pre-order sales and just getting started! Thank YOU.&quot;
