Travis Scott’s Fornite concert Astronomical was more than a success.

Epic said that Scott’s outing eclipsed the 10 million Fortnite users who took in a Marshmello show last year.

Scott used the entirety of the Fortnite island in the interactive live event, which lasted about 15 minutes and was choc full of exhilarating graphics and colorful psychedelic effects.
The concert also had a Tron-inspired sequence, roller coasters, and in conjunction with the track Highest in the Room, gamers were taken on an underwater adventure.
Scott, who will be performing in more virtual shows moving forward, morphed into a cyborg and also into a giant during the course of the virtual performance.
The show was a bit of a family affair, as his two-year-old daughter Stormi (with Kylie Jenner, 22) wanted to play the game in an Instagram clip he posted earlier.

Jenner and Scott initially were first romantically linked in April of 2017, and they welcomed Stormi February 1, 2018.
Fornite continues to instill successful promotional crossovers, as it welcomed filmmaker director JJ Abrams to plug Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker late last year.
Future shows in the series are slated to Friday at 7 a.m. PDT and 9 p.m. PDT, and Saturday at 8 a.m. PDT and 3 p.m. PDT.
