Fortnite on iOS & Android: Big News, Cross-Play & Invite Event Details

Fortnite on ios.

Yesterday was a wild day for gaming news. Nintendo’s Direct revealed Super Smash Bros. is coming to the Switch, Valve hinted at a return to game development, and Epic Games dropped a major bombshell—Fortnite Battle Royale is coming to mobile. Not only that, but it will support cross-play with other platforms, changing the way we think about mobile gaming.

Fortnite Mobile: The Same Game, Now on the Go

Epic Games confirmed that Fortnite Battle Royale on iOS and Android will be the full-fledged experience players know from PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Mac. That means the same 100-player matches, the same map, the same weekly updates, and the same gameplay—not a watered-down mobile port.

This is a huge deal, as many mobile adaptations often feel like lesser versions of their console counterparts. Epic’s promise ensures that mobile players won’t miss out on the action.

Fortnite Mobile Cross-Play: A Game-Changer

One of the biggest surprises in Epic’s announcement was Fortnite Mobile’s cross-play functionality. Players on mobile will be able to play with and against those on PC and PlayStation 4 (no confirmation on Xbox cross-play yet). This marks a major step forward in uniting gaming communities across different platforms.

Epic Games stated:

We believe this is the future of games. The same game on all platforms. Console-quality graphics and action. Play when you want, where you want.

If successful, this move could have a massive impact on the future of cross-platform gaming.

How to Sign Up for the Fortnite Mobile Invite Event

Epic is rolling out Fortnite Mobile gradually, starting with an Invite Event for iOS users. Here’s how to sign up:

  1. Go to www.Fortnite.com on March 12 to register.
  2. If selected, you’ll receive an email with a download link to get started.
  3. Players who get an invite will also receive additional codes to share with friends.

Android users will have to wait a bit longer, as Epic hasn’t announced a date for their invite-only event yet.

When Will Fortnite Mobile Release?

Epic hasn’t given an official release date yet, but with the invite codes for iOS already rolling out, a full launch may not be far off. Expect more details in the coming weeks.

With Fortnite Battle Royale expanding to mobile and introducing cross-play, Epic Games is pushing boundaries in the gaming industry. If the mobile version can deliver on its promise of being a true Fortnite experience, this could be one of the biggest mobile game releases in years.
