Without any doubt, Fortnite: Battle Royale is the most talked-about game on the planet. Developed by Epic Games and People Can Fly, the game was released back in September of 2017. In only a few days after its launch, the game managed to attract 10 million players. Sounds amazing, right? Well, you should know that Fortnite is now available on iOS devices as well. Here’s how to sign up for Fortnite on your phone.
As you can expect, millions of iOS users are looking for a way to try this amazing game. To provide smooth gameplay experience, Epic Games has decided to stick to a gradual rollout. This means that you will need to sign-up on the developer’s website to get your name on a waiting list. Once they are ready for you, you’ll get notified. This is where you’ll need to download the Fortnite app on your device, sign-in, and you’ll be ready to jump in.
Please note that your device needs to run iOS 11. This means that the following Apple-made devices are covered: iPhone 6S/SE and up, iPad Mini 4, iPad Air 2, iPad 2017, and iPad Pro.
It should be also said that fake invite codes can be found on the Web. Beware of these scams, and make sure to go the official way. Actually, there isn't a way to skip the queue.
At the moment, Fortnite is only available on iOS devices (when it comes to mobile operating systems). However, the company behind this hugely popular title is planning to release the game on Android devices as well. The latest information tells us that this might happen in a couple of months. So, you just need to be patient a bit more.
Epic Games made headlines once the company announced that Fortnite on smartphones won’t be a lightweight clone of the original. Instead, it was promised that you’ll get the full Battle Royale experience as on gaming consoles. This means that you’ll get to play same maps, expect the same experience, and even receive weekly updates.
You should also know that it might take some time until you receive the full-fledged experience. Given the staggered rollout, Epic Games will most likely introduce new features gradually. It might take several months until we get to see truly polished Fortnite experience.
Sadly, no. Representatives of Epic Games said that they don’t have immediate plans to add vehicles to Battle Royale. However, means of transportation already exist in other modes of this game. If you’re playing a console version, you can take advantage of a hoverboard. A jetpack should also appear, giving you a greater freedom of movement.
Yes, absolutely! One of the most exciting features is that you can cross-play with your friends, no matter what kind of device they’re using. At the moment, you can expect to cross-play Fortnite on PC, Mac, PS4, and Xbox One. Still, there are some quirks. The Xbox cross-play integration should appear soon. On the other hand, Sony is still considering this feature.
