If yous've always played Fortnite or purchased something from the Epic Games Store, then you've been prompted to create an Ballsy Games business relationship. If you have one, you're part of a huge crowd: more than 500 million account-holders.

Ballsy revealed the massive number today, though there are some caveats. Notably, Epic didn't share any details beyond the number. Equally mentioned, Epic Games accounts are tied to both Epic titles like Fortnite and the Ballsy Games Store, then the 500 million is likely a combination of agile players and folks who've purchased something from the store. Epic Games has been offering weekly free games on its storefront since it launched, so that's surely played a role in getting people to sign up.

The company has merely continued to grow in recent years, bringing in more than teams nether its wing. It acquired Rocket League developer Psyonix in 2022, Fall Guys studio Mediationic in spring 2022, and lauded music game-maker Harmonix in the fall of the same year. The Epic Games Shop has seen large changes itself, with the addition of achievements and cart functionality at the tail finish of 2022.
