IGN - Fortnite hits 2 million downloads on Switch, Nintendo comments on cross-platform play issues with Sony

Fortnite on Switch had an absolutely MASSIVE first day! According to Reggie Fils-Aime, the game has already been downloaded 2 million times.

"At this point, we've already had more than two million downloads on Fortnite. So that speaks to an engaged audience on Nintendo Switch as well as the core proposition of, I can now take it with me and play anywhere, anytime, with anyone, it's really resonated."

Those 2 million players found out quickly that Sony was blocking the PS4 version of Fortnite from crossplay, just as they do on all other versions. Furthermore, you can't bring your PS4 Fortnite account over to Switch. Reggie Fils-Aime addressed this as well.

"We embrace working with a developer and enabling them to bring their vision to life and whether that's Fortnite, whether that's a number of the other games that have cross-platform play on our console, from a developer standpoint that's what we want. And we work hard with them to bring that to life. What competitors do is their decision to make. We believe being both developer-forward and fan-forward is in the best interest of the game."
