Don't get too excited just yet, though. For the time being, much like its iOS launch, Fortnite's beta is only supporting select devices, but you won't have to wait long for more to get the battle royale treatment.

Starting today, players with Samsung Galaxy devices will be the first to get their hands on the beta - that means anyone with an S7 / S7 Edge / S8 / S8+/ S9 / S9+ / Note 8 / Note 9 / Tab S3 / Tab S4.

On top of that, anyone who's bought a Samsung S9 or Galaxy Tab S4 will get access to the new Galaxy outfit.

Don't worry though, Epic will be rolling out beta invites to more Android devices over the next few days. These include:

  • Google: Pixel / Pixel XL, Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL
  • Asus: ROG Phone, Zenfone 4 Pro, 5Z, V
  • Essential: PH-1
  • Huawei: Honor 10, Honor Play, Mate 10 / Pro, Mate RS, Nova 3, P20 / Pro, V10
  • LG: G5, G6, G7 ThinQ, V20, V30 / V30+
  • Nokia: 8
  • OnePlus: 5 / 5T, 6
  • Razer: Phone
  • Xiaomi: Blackshark, Mi 5 / 5S / 5S Plus, 6 / 6 Plus, Mi 8 / 8 Explorer / 8SE, Mi Mix, Mi Mix 2, Mi Mix 2S, Mi Note 2
