How do you play Fortnite on your mobile phone?

Fortnite mobile is technically the same game as the PC and console version. It hasn't been down-sized and it has the same possibilities. It might be less visually attractive than playing on more powerful PCs and consoles, and the controls are now via your touchscreen. On mobile, you can only play against other players. If you're friends via Epic with someone who does play on a PC or console, you can join them in a game against other PC or console players.

For iOS, you can simply download Fortnite in the App Store. Previously, you needed an invite to do this, but now, anyone can download Fortnite iOS in the Apple App Store. The only thing you have to keep in mind is your device. Fortnite is only compatible with an iPhone SE or newer models. If you have an iPad, you can use anything from the iPad Air 2 and Mini 4 and more.

Fortnite isn't available in the Google Play Store. The developer Epic Games wants to distribute the game themselves. You can still easily and safely download Fortnite for your smartphone. Register at Fortnite.com/android for this. You'll receive a message from Epic Games with a download link to install Fortnite. Be aware that you need a powerful smartphone to play Fortnite without crashes.

Unlike your console or PC, you have to charge your smartphone regularly to make sure your phone doesn't run out of power in the middle of a game you're winning. With a power bank, you always have enough power to keep on gaming for as long as you'd like.
