In a report over at financial stalwart Bloomberg, the publisher has suggested that the mega-successful Fortnite is "on track to generate (USD)$2 billion this year alone", and says the game has, since September 2017 through May 2018, generated "more than (USD)$1.2 billion".

All of this revenue has now made Epic Games worth between USD$5 billion and USD$8 billion as per the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. However, there is an estimate that if Fortnite managed to maintain revenue alongside Epic's other ventures, there's no reason an active takeover bid of "as much as (USD)$14 billion" couldn't be out of the question.

Moreover, with various initiatives, and even negative press, around Fortnite seemingly on the rise, the game's growth could also see an even larger revenue stream over the coming months and years. PUBG, however, has seen a slight dip in buy-in, while numerous other Triple-A entities intend to bring the popular Battle Royal mode to their games, which could dilute the market, and therefore shrink Fortnite's stake in the space.

One thing's for sure though, Epic founder Tim Sweeney who holds a 51% shareholder stake in Epic is sitting pretty damn, well, pretty.
