Nvidia’s GeForce Now Brings Fortnite to Android and iOS Devices

Jan. 14, 2022

Fortnite hasfaced a rough timewith the Apple App Store booting off the battle royale game for circumventing its policies. However, it’s a good time for fans as Fortnite is now back on iOS and easily playable on Android devices as well, thanks to the Nvidia GeForce Now cloud game streaming service. Here’s how it works.

Fortnite is Coming Back on iOS

GeForce Now has partnered with Epic Games to bringFortnite to Android and iOS devicesas part of a closed beta. This version of Fortnite will be optimized for mobile devices with new touch controls, which were available as part of the game’s Android and iOS apps.

Fortnite on iOS can be accessed via the Safari browser, which is the only way Apple allows cloud gaming. The Cupertino giant doesn’t allow cloud gaming apps on its App Store. Android users can access the game via the GeForce Now app available on the Google Play Store. While Android users can already play Fortnite on GeForce Now, the difference is that this version is specially meant for mobile devices, allowing for smoother gameplay.

Since this is a closed beta for a limited time, chances are that not many users will get to access Fortnite via GeForce Now. However, both Epic Games and Nvidia are working towards providing more people with the game’s access and more will be announced on this soon.

It is further revealed that more touch-control games will be available via GeForce Now. In an officialblog post, Nvidia states, “And we’re just getting started. Cloud-to-mobile gaming is a great opportunity for publishers to get their games into more gamers’ hands with touch-friendly versions of their games.” PC versions of various games will reach GeForce Now soon.
