How To Download Fortnite On Android Mobile
The highly popular Battle Royale Game Fortnite has finally been fully released on Android mobile. As earlier the game was not freely available for download to everyone. The beta version had previously been invite-only, but as of today, you can download it to any Android device for free, without waiting.
But if you are someone who has not yet joined the craze of Fortnite and don’t know anything about the game. Then it is the combination of the two most famous and addictive game, Minecraft and PUBG. As just like PUBG you’re dropped onto the large island map and must arm yourself and outlive your competition. It offers a free 100-player Player Vs Player (PvP) Battle Royale game mode. And the best part in Fortnite, you always start out armed with a pickaxe which can be used as a melee weapon or to harvest raw supplies for building walls, ramps, and shelters. Which just adds an extra layer of interest in the game and sure make it more addictive.
So, after reading this if you are craving for downloading the game from Google Play Store, then stop the rush. As unlike most Android games, Epic isn’t offering Fortnite through the Google Play Store. Instead, you can download Fortnite from its own official site. So, on Google Play Store if you search for “Fortnite” and anything comes up then stop yourself right there as it is sure not the official Fortnite game you want to download.
But although the invite-only link has been suppressed by Epic games there is still a catch to download Fortnite for Android mobile. As the game works on the latest “high-end Android smartphones”. Though earlier the list was limited to Samsung smartphones, now it has opened a wide range for other Android smartphones too.
