Fortnite for Android is one of the most anticipated games we’ve seen in a long time. EPIC Games initially launched the Fortnite Beta for Android, locking it down to a select number of Samsung devices. But now, they’re opening it up to quite a few other Android devices, just as long as the phone is running a powerful processor and has 3-4GB of RAM. You can find the full list of compatible Android phones on the Fortnite Beta for Android official landing page.
Unfortunately, EPIC Games has chosen to release the mobile version of Fortnite directly through its website rather than putting it on Google Play. EPIC Games isn’t happy about the cut Google takes from app and games sales and would rather handle distribution of the game on its own. This means you’ll need to download the APK from Fortnite’s website and sideload it on your phone, but once the initial installation is complete, EPIC Games will be handling updates to the game directly through its own installer.
If you’ve been dying to play Fortnite on your Android phone, follow the instruction below.
