Hey guys, welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m
your host Lucy McPhee and for those of you
who missed this past weekends virtual concert
over on Fortnite, we have all the info for
you right here, right now.
As we know Marshmello performed an in-game
virtual concert for Fortnite players around
the world.
It’s the first of it’s kind -- and an
utter success for the Epic giants.
So how did it all go down?
Let’s jump in.
This past Saturday over 10 MILLION people
played Fortnite in order to attend the first
even in-game virtual concert performed by
Marshmello.
The event had been teased throughout the week
via in-game posters -- as well as the gradual
building of a stage at pleasant park.
Epic even released a Marshmello Skin, glider,
and emoted -- alongside three challengers
for players to earn a matching pickaxe leading
up to the event.
Now, if you’re unsure who Marshmello is
-- he is an EDM producer and quite the popular
DJ these days.
The performance was a shocking moment in gaming
-- but visually stunning nonetheless.
At 2pm ET everyone was transported to the
virtual stage, where Marshmello began a 10-minute
set.
Thinking ahead -- Epic disabled the ability
to use weapons during the performance so no
party poopers could ruin the fun for anyone.
The stage was impressive to say the least
-- it came to life with huge holograms of
Fortnite characters -- while graphics played
behind the DJ’s avatar.
During certain moments the stage would alter
gravity -- and players would be sent bouncing
into the sky.
It is a surprise -- considering the sheer
amount of people present during the event
-- that it went off without a hitch.
And the event itself has been dubbed as one
of the best attended gigs in history.
I mean -- of course -- considering no one
really ever wants to leave their house and
this allowed for that.
The event surely earned Epic a sizeable sum
in microtransaction revenue from skins and
emotes with players wanting to don the Marshmello
skin for the special one-time event.
Epic have out-done themselves.
Showcasing what a singular game as the potential
of accomplishing.
Transitioning into live-events that every
person around the world can watch.
Fortnite is becoming dangerous competition
for every market -- and with the right minds
infrastructure, it is capable of anything.
