Download fortnite on android beta

Before that happens, they're kicking off a timed exclusive closed beta test for select Samsung devices. Here's how to download the Fortnite beta on Android and a list of the devices Epic says should be powerful enough to run the game.

Before we go any further, readers should know that Fortnite isn't technically available on Android as a platform right now — instead, it's currently available to Android-powered Samsung phones as part of a timed exclusive closed beta test. To make matters more complicated, developer Epic Games has opted not to feature Fortnite on the usual Google Play Store, likely because the studio doesn't want to give Google its usual 30 percent cut of all revenue.

Instead, Epic has chosen to host an Android installer over on the Fortnite website — simply click on Play Free Now and let the installer do all the work. Alternatively, Samsung mobile phone users can find the Fortnite installer via the Galaxy Apps storefront. It's worth mentioning again that the current Android iteration of Fortnite is a closed beta test, meaning even if users manage to download Fortnite for their Android devices, they still have to be invited to the beta to play the game — otherwise, they won't be able to sign in to the application.

For now, the Fortnite Android closed beta is a timed exclusive to the Samsung devices listed both above and below. Once the timed exclusivity period ends, Epic says the following devices should be able to properly run the Fortnite Android beta:. Epic Games announced this on stage at the Galaxy Note 9 event. You will get an email that will send you the Fortnite Android beta installer. Once you sign up, you will get an email with more information about joining the Fortnite Android beta.

The email arrived instantly for me, and I was able to download and pre-install the Fortnite beta. According to The Verge, users should download anything from third-party websites claiming they have links to download Fortnite for Android. As we all know, Epic Games is still working out the bugs with its beta release and is slowly adding more compatible devices and fixes for unsupported devices. Eventually, Epic Games will roll out fixes or patches for older devices to make sure gameplay remains smooth for everyone.
