Not every phone can hop onboard the battle bus. These ones can.
Epic Games’ Fortnite is eating the world, and now the battle royale game (and occasional golf simulator) is finally coming to Android. Samsung Galaxy devices held exclusive access to the Fortnite beta for now, but Epic has started rolling out invites to owners of other phones as well.
Can your phone even play Fortnite for Android, though? The game requires some serious graphical horsepower despite its cartoonish looks.
If you’re an Android user and want to gain access to Fortnite, we have you covered here. Following our instructions, we also have a full list of phones that can play Fortnite on Android.
HOW TO PLAY FORTNITE ON ANDROID
To celebrate the launch of the Galaxy Note 9 (go.pcworld.com/hon9), Samsung Galaxy owners can play the Fortnite beta right now. Anyone who has a Galaxy S7 or later, the Galaxy Note 8, or Galaxy Tab S3 or S4 will find a Fortnite icon in Samsung’s Game Launcher app. (You can find it in your app drawer.) Just tap it to start downloading the game.
