The Chinese government’s ban on games created a massive backlog for Chinese consumers even though the ban was lifted last December. According to a report by Niko Partners, only 989 games have seen release in China with the vast majority of them being Chinese produced mobile games. It needs to be restated that Fortnite still has not been released in China.
