Victory Royale is closely tied to Fortnite: Battle Royale, where the phrase appears as the game's signature winning message. As Fortnite became one of the biggest online games in the late 2010s, the sound spread across montages, memes and short-form edits as a shorthand for success. Creators still use it because the reference is immediate: even outside Fortnite, it tells viewers that a moment should be read as a win, much like GTA SA Mission Passed is used for comedic completion scenes.
