A Fortnite Gamer’s Stats Baffles Community- “He’s Been Playing the Game Since Before It Was an Idea”

The record-breaking season of Fortnite is currently underway, and it seems like the fans cannot get enough of the nostalgia. Chapter 4 has already recorded the lifetime highest peak player count along with the share of hours dedicated on the map. But it’s not just Epic Games that’s breaking records. Even the players are motivated to break their individual statistics. However, there is one stat that might be impossible to crack! 

Ever since its debut in 2017, Fortnite has been among the most celebrated Battle Royale shooting games. However, the fans had complained the game was losing its OG charm. So Epic Games finally brought back the glory days of the game. While the game is currently enjoying the homecoming of many Fortnite veterans, there’s one dedicated gamer who’s been busy with the tactical shooter for over a million hours. How is that possible?

For over six years now, the world of Epic Games’ tactical shooter has been a popular online gaming trend. From Thor showcasing his Fortnite skills in the Endgame to top-tier celebrities fanboying over the game, the influence of the Epic Games’ creation has been strong. Thus, a hundred years from now, a player having a statistic of over a million gaming hours in the game wouldn’t be surprising. Although a mathematically possible number to achieve, it would require some genius strategies like the OG season for Epic Games to keep the players hooked for so long. But it seems like we already have a winner with over 1.2 million hours of gameplay.

For those wondering if the math doesn’t fit right, no, the player is not a time traveler. After the statistics went viral across social media, the player gave clarification that these numbers were a result of a glitch. According to the source, the glitch occurred when the player was syncing data between PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. A lucky glitch, nevertheless!

Aside from the fact that the statistics were the result of a glitch, fans were quite thrilled with the idea of a player playing Fortnite back when the early evolution of computers had begun! 

A user took a hilarious dig on the glitch as they stated, “bro was playing fortnite before the lightbulb was invented.” The light bulb was invented in 1879, which still keeps the player 2 years ahead according to Fortnite statistics. 

Another user wrote, “146 years of playtime. 0 chicken dinners.” No sources to confirm if chicken dinner celebrations were a thing back then.

A player is confident as they work out the math and suggest how the numbers are actually possible. “Simple.. He’s been playing 24/7 for roughly 146 years..,” the comment reads. Responding to which another player wrote, “He’s been playing the game since before it was an idea.”

This is the part where the Hulk says, “Time travel!” A Fortnite player might be a living example. “Clearly he’s been traveling back in time to log more time..,” a user has a theory. 

Another conspiracy theory around the possibility. Too early to call it an AI deal? “No life or has AI playing for him,” a user wrote.
