Hey all,

Starting with Season 10, the PC version of Fortnite will require a graphics card capable of running Microsoft DirectX 11.

While a DirectX 11-capable graphics card has always been one of Fortnite’s system requirements, we’ve kept support online for players with older graphics cards - so they could keep playing!

However, when Season 10 begins, Fortnite will no longer be compatible with these older graphics cards. This allows us to focus our development and testing efforts to further optimize the Fortnite experience for all players.

Thank you for the continued support!

Worldwide digital game spending dips on every platform. Consumers spent $8.7 billion digitally on games across console, PC and mobile in May, down 4% from the same month last year. This was driven by a 6% decline in Mobile, which continues to be a larger contributor than console and PC combined. The drop off in Fortnite also continues to drag both console and PC.

Fortnite gets a boost from Season 9 but is still far off from its peak. Fortnite made $203 million across console, PC and mobile, up significantly from April but down 38% from May 2018. Console continues to contribute the largest share of players and revenue.

FIFA Ultimate Team revenue declines year-over-year. We estimate that FIFA in-game spending generated $93 million across console and PC in May, down from the same month last year, partly due to a tough comparison against the initial strength of the World Cup mode last May. However, we note that World Cup performance weakened over time and will likely lead to more favorable comparisons in the coming months.

Total War: Three Kingdoms breaks one million units at launch. Sega’s latest strategy game led the top rankings on PC this month with $62 million in digital revenue.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds quietly continues to sell millions of units. We estimate that PUBG has sold 4.7 million digital units across PC and console year-to-date through May, maintaining its position as one of the best selling shooter titles on any platform despite losing much of the spotlight to EA’s Apex Legends and Fortnite.

GamesIndustry.biz - Amazon's struggle is a reminder that content is still king.
"The really striking thing is that Amazon is already hitting these speed bumps and it hasn't even managed to get to the really hard part yet. Simply getting high-quality games ready for release is a tough task requiring a lot of expertise and experience, but the real challenge is getting players to actually engage with those games in a way that carries out the successful, alchemical trickery that changes them from being "a game" into being "an IP with inherent value" -- something you can actually build a long-term business on.

This isn't to say that Amazon's interest in games -- and Facebook's interest, and Apple's, and Google's -- isn't going to be a big factor in the industry in the future. However, there's a distinction between platform and content that's really important to think about in terms of their involvement and the degree of threat they represent to the established players."
