Fortnite stepped away from all the recent controversy it has faced and gave fans an experience to cherish. The game hosted a virtual concert named ‘Astronomical’, featuring American rapper Travis Scott. Among the millions attending the concert was popular Twitch streamer Félix “xQc” Lengyel.

However, the real number of people who actually watched the concert must surely be much larger than that. Apart from the 12.3 million in-game attendees, countless others watched it through various streams on Twitch and YouTube as well.
For those who missed the concert entirely, you can always catch a recording of the same. Moreover, Travis Scott will perform a couple of more times until Sunday, so you can still catch a live show.
