Previously, if you you've wanted to get your hands on the Fortnite Android beta, you've had to sign up for an invitation. But Epic Games has now opened the beta up to everyone, no invite required. Fortnite on Android was first released as a Samsung Galaxy exclusive, with invites rolling out to select compatible devices. Now, any Android device that meets the system requirements can play Epic's massively-popular Battle Royale game without an invite to the beta. Epic recommends that it's best if your device is running Android 8.0 or later. Here are the recommended system requirements:

OS: Recommended Android 8.0 or higher, 64 bit
RAM: Recommended 4GB or higher
GPU: Adreno 530 or higher, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or higher
So there are a wide variety of options for you to download the game. You can download the game on Google's Pixel line, the Essential Phone, the Razer Phone and a number of others.

What is Fortnite on Android?

The mobile version of Fortnite is the full game you know and love from PCs and consoles, with the same weapons, the same map and an identical update schedule. The controls are adapted for touchscreen, with some actions automated to make it less fiddly, including picking up items and opening doors. Elements of Fortnite's UI are different on Android too, with extra building buttons popping up, and there are both on-screen footstep and gunshot indicators to tell you the direction of any nearby sounds. Other than that, it’s the same game.

How to download the game?

It might be annoying that you won’t find it on the Google Play Store like all your other apps. Instead, you need to open an internet browser on their smartphone, whether that's Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Internet Explorer and go to Fortnite.com/Android, where they'll find the Fortnite Installer for download. The install file APK will only take up about 2mb of storage, though the game itself comes in at a more sizeable 2GB.

Cross-play is also enabled on Android

Fortnite on Android will be compatible with iOS, PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions of the shooter, so you’ll be able to squad up with your friends on other platforms. Epic has not said whether cross-play for Android will be available at launch, or whether it will arrive later.

 

However, there are some cratches when you play Fortnite on Android. First, Save the World hasn’t come to Android yet, since Save the World uses much more memory and CPU than Battle Royale and would be very difficult to bring to mobile devices.

If you use a keyboard and mouse on Android, you will be removed from the match. Last but not the least, players may receiving an error when trying to log-in even though they are on a supported device. Epic Games has now been aware of this problem. They’ve identified what’s causing this problem and are investigating the issue to work towards a fix.
