Fortnite is one of the most popular video games of all time. Even though it was released almost six years ago, it’s still very profitable, which is why it’s no surprise that some players have already become millionaires.

Becoming a millionaire takes a lot of time and effort, as well as a lot of luck. However, this group of Fortnite players managed to achieve the impressive goal in less than a month. To be specific, they needed only two weeks to get there.

These players developed Only Up, the most popular Fortnite Creative map.

New Fortnite millionaires have done a fantastic job so far

With the release of Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) back in March, Epic Games also released Creator Economy 2.0. This system allows talented Fortnite players to create their own maps in the Creative mode and earn money from them.

According to Epic Games, some creators are already on pace to make $10 million or more in a year. However, no creator has ever made a map as popular as Only Up. The map has recently set the record for the most concurrent players with more than 112,000 players playing it at the same time.

The Fortnite Creative map is developed by Army, a gaming organization from France. These players recreated Only Up, a PC game released in May 2023. However, the Fortnite clone has become much more popular than the original game, making its creators millions of dollars.

To put it into perspective, the original Only Up game has a player peak of 11,239 players, a far cry from the record the UEFN map has set. The Fortnite version of the game has had at least 34,000 concurrent players at any given moment over the past week.

You can try the map out with the code 4366-9611-6988 and see why it’s so popular.
