Stadia does not have the user base to justify Fortnite – Tim Sweeney

Tim Sweeney has said in a tweet that thee reason that Stadia does not have Fortnite is that the userbase does not justify the port. In tweet asking about a Stadia port, Tim Sweeny indicated that Stadias userbase is not high enough to justify the cost it would bring to the platform.

There’s not a deep reason. We fully support Stadia in Unreal Engine however the effort required to release Fortnite updates weekly in sync across 7+ platform is extreme and that makes it hard to add platforms that don’t yet have mass market user bases.

Fortnite is arguably the most influential game at this moment time. With this news this will be a disappointment to many people.

I would like to thank Duane for bringing this to my attention and Hdort on Reddit for asking and the question and putting it there.
