Fortnite Battle Royale will undoubtedly become even more popular by the end of this year. The video game has over 130 million players, and almost 80 million of them were active in August. However, Epic Games has just made Fortnite available on more Android devices, which means that millions of new players will start playing the game.
The Android release of Fortnite had been limited only to a few devices. First, it was only Samsung smartphones and tablets, then the game received support for a few more devices. Now, the video game is supported by over 40 devices from more than 10 manufacturers.
Fortnite on Android
If you want to play Fortnite on Android, all you have to do is to have a compatible device and go to Fortnite.com/Android. Keep in mind that the video game is not available from Google Play. Therefore, you will have to download it from the official website in order to play it.
Additionally, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and Tab S4 owners get the exclusive skin with the purchase of their device. This is one of the rarest skins in the game and it is only obtainable this way.
In order to run Fortnite, your Android device has to run Android 8.0 or higher and have a 64-bit processor. The device also needs to have 3 GB of RAM and Adreno 530 GPU or better. Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12, and newer GPUs are also supported. However, some other devices are supported, and you can find them at the bottom of this article.
It is important to note that Android players will be matched up against other mobile players. At the moment, using keyboard and mouse or a controller is not supported, but that may eventually change.
