Fortnite: Battle Royale Android - How to play?

If you meet the conditions described in the first chapter and your compatible device is fully warmed up and ready to use, please go to the email address you provided and receive the invitation. The email should look as shown in the picture above. If for some reason you do not have a mailbox on your phone, you can access the link from your computer. Once you've loaded the website, you'll see a QR code that you can scan on your phone, which can take you to the manufacturer's official website to download the application.

Please note that the app is not available for download from the official Google Play store. If you have any problems installing it, make sure your smartphone has the "unknown sources" option on. (Usually this option is located in the security tab). This option allows you to install applications from outside of the official Google store.

If you use any of the smartphones listed above, you will be able to play now. If for some reason you have tried to run the application on an unsupported or incompatible device, you will receive a warning "Your device is not supported". If you are in such a user group, patience is the only option. Epic Games will probably enlarge the list of compatible devices, so keep an eye on every news about Fortnite on Android.

Fortnite for Android platform - Warnings from GamePressure

Important! Due to the huge interest in Fortnite: Battle Royale release on Android and the decision of Epic Games not to support the official Google Play store, we warn you about various fakes and frauds. Do not install an application that comes from other source than the official Epic Games website, especially those that appear in links on YouTube and Facebook. The same applies to the official Google Play store to date. The only valid option to get the game is to install it after receiving an invitation from Epic Games, which you will receive in the email.
