But it's not as easy as simply visiting the Google Play app store. The release comes after Samsung were given the exclusive rights to Fortnite for its Galaxy devices, following the launch of the Note 9 smartphone. Epic Games, Fortnite's developer, has decided to not make the popular game available through Google Play, meaning Android users could be more exposed to online scammers seeking to make a profit with fake versions.
The Android launch of the game is instead only available for download exclusively through Epic's website. Hopeful players will need to sign up for an email invite from Epic Games, though this typically only takes a couple of days to receive. The reason for keeping it semi-exclusive is to iron out any potential issues with the game ahead of a full roll out. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney explained his company's decision to not use Google's official platform, claiming that the tech giant took a disproportionate cut of the sales through its store.
Competition among services gives consumers lots of great choices and enables the best to succeed based on merit. The 30 per cent share that Google takes is exactly the same as the cut Apple takes through its official App Store, which Epic Games uses to distribute Fortnite for iPhones and iPads.
Unlike Google, however, Apple has much tighter controls over which apps and software can be downloaded to iOS devices. One of the reasons for these restrictions is to prevent iPhone and iPad users from downloading malicious apps that could pose a cyber risk.
The popularity of Fortnite means hackers have targeted players of the game with scams, aiming to infect their computers, consoles and portable electronics with malware. For example, a player on an Android device has a more difficult time with controls and game navigation, so they may choose to play against other players with the same disadvantage.
The graphics for Fortnite on Android have come along since its original beta release. However, they are still inferior to that of the gaming console, computer, or iOS device graphics.
As Android users are used to doing, expect that graphics will not be as high quality or representative of what you are used to when you play on a superior device. The overall navigation is more cumbersome as well. Lag is another significant issue Android users face when playing Fortnite on their tablets and mobile devices. This is especially frustrating if you are somewhat competitive and have a team you are trying to help make it to the end.
All players must have an Epic Games username and password to play and are subject to their Privacy Policy. It is free to download and play. Anyone playing this addictive game on a mobile device is at a slight disadvantage to a console player.
This is to be expected and not exclusive to Android. When comparing mobile device platforms, the overall graphic quality is markedly better on iOS than on Android.
Since the truest value of Fortnite coming to Android is just another platform to reach its user base, this is not a deal breaker. The true Fortnite fans will play on their consoles or computers most of the time, just enjoying the Android mobile version when they want to sneak in an extra challenge. Both kids and their parents alike can have fun creating worlds, teaming up, and taking on the journey together. Access to the game on Android only makes that interaction more attainable now.
