• Though you can't directly download 'Fortnite' on an Android through the Google Play Store, there is a workaround.
• If you have an Android phone, you can download 'Fortnite' through the Epic Games app, which you can get directly from their website.

2. Next open the Fortnite app and login to your Epic Games account. STEP 3 – Download the Necessary Game Files. After you login to your Epic Games account, in the next page that will appear on your screen Fortnite will usually ask you to download additional 7.5GB so you can be able to play the game, so go ahead and let it update the files.
3. Android can be picky about which browsers are allowed to download.APK files by default, so if you can’t download the Epic Games Store app, try this workaround: Open your phone’s settings app.
4. T he installer is just for downloading the Fortnite apk. Also, c urrently, your device might not have access to the apk yet. Starting now, Fortnite is exclusive to Samsung Galaxy devices from the S7 and above until Aug. Everyone else will have to wait until later to join the battle royale. The apk is about 90MB with in-game data downloading.

We're well past the original craze that surrounded 'Fortnite' when it first came out in 2017, but the reason for that craze hasn't gone away - it's a fun and addicting game.

Google Play Store is the primary source of apps and games for Android smartphones and the removal of popular battle royale game Fortnite came as a surprise to its fans. The game has been removed from both Apple App Store and Google Play Store soon after the publisher Epic Games tried to cut down the 30% free both Apple and Google asks from developers for transactions on their platforms.

It's a good thing then that there are tons of different ways to play 'Fortnite' from Epic Games - it's not only available on your desktop computer. Aside from being available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch consoles, you can also download 'Fortnite' to play on your Android phone.

You used to be able to play 'Fortnite' on your phone easily, no matter which model or operating system you used. In the summer of 2020, however, Epic Games got into a feud with Apple and Google, and as a result, the 'Fortnite' app was removed from mobile app stores.

If you have an iPhone, this is where the story ends - you either had the app before they took it off the app store, and you're safe, or you didn't. On Androids, however, you have more options. If you have a Samsung Galaxy, you can just download the game from the Galaxy Store. If you have another Android phone, it's not as simple, but there's a relatively easy workaround.
