With over 201 billion views only on YouTube, Minecraft dominantly claimed its position as the most-watched game in 2020. It is still ruling the internet despite releasing ten years ago, and from the looks of it, this momentum will most likely continue even in 2021.

Rod observed Minecraft has accomplished a feat that was exclusively held by Fortnite up till now. Minecraft is the first non-Fortnite game to enter the list of top 5 streams of all time. However, Spanish Fortnite creator TheGrefg still holds the top two spots with over 2.5 million and 660K peak viewers, respectively.

Fortnite to emulate Minecraft in 2021?
It won’t be an exaggeration to say that Minecraft is an evergreen game. One of the primary reasons behind this undying popularity is its Creative mode, which lets the community build its own world with a surprising amount of flexibility. So much so that players have even spent years creating their masterpieces in Minecraft.

The gaming community majorly claims that Fortnite is a ‘dead game’, but Epic Games looks certain of building a legacy for it in 2021. The developer will most probably do so by following Minecraft’s approach and enhancing Fortnite’s Creative mode.
Fortnite is all set to offer Unreal Engine 5 customization tools to the players in 2021. This implies that they can create their own maps from scratch and even customize any existing materials in the game. With this strategy, Fortnite looks forward to adding more genres of gaming under its name, such as Open World Action-Adventure, Social Simulation, and Survival.
