Epic Games’ Fortnite has been available on iOS for a while (and raked in the revenue) but the beta is now finally available for all Android devices as well. This is after timed exclusivity period with select Samsung devices. You won’t find it on the Google Play Store – head to the official Fortnite site to download it.
Make sure to browse the helpful FAQ beforehand as well. For now, Fortnite is compatible right out of the box for select Android devices. These include the latest phones from Asus, Samsung, Google, Huawei, LG, and Xiaomi. To find out if your phone is on the list, see below:

If your device isn’t on the list, don’t worry- Epic Games says it might still work if you have Android 8.0 or higher (64-bit), 4 GB of RAM or higher, and an Adreno 530 GPU or higher. Alternatively, a Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or higher could work as a GPU. Either way, if your device isn’t supported, then a fairly beastly configuration will be required.
