Fortnite provides boost to Game

Retailer Game Digital saw sales fall in the first half, despite a boost to some categories from popular games like Fortnite.

Revenue dipped 4.7 per cent to £492.9 million in the 26 weeks to 26 January. Sales of high-end accessories and merchandise were boosted by Fortnite and other battle royale games, in a phenomenon the group said it anticipates replicating with the recently released Apex Legends.
