All Android-users can now play Fortnite... if you have a compatible device

Since rolling out its limited beta for a few devices a couple of months back, the big question is when should you expect to get Fortnite on your phones? The answer: now, of course.

It's been hard not to get swept up in the fever this year as Fortnite grew in popularity and appeared on iOS, Switch, and Android one after the other. With Disco Domination and the Quadlauncher appearing in-game earlier this week, the news of an open Android beta is no less exciting.

Though the list of Android devices is pretty lengthy, it doesn't include every phone on the market. Have a browse here and see if your device is listed before downloading. Even if it's not, there's no harm in trying it out just in case - especially if you've got these specs:

  • OS: Recommended Android 8.0 or higher, 64 bit
  • RAM: 3GB or higher
  • GPU: Adreno 530 or higher, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or higher

Unlike its iOS version, you'll have to download Fortnite's independent installer to get it on your phones. You can find that right here.
