#GamingBytes: How to install Fortnite on your Android phone?
Epic Games launched Fortnite, for Android devices, last week. Earlier, the Battle Royale mode, which is immensely popular, was made available only on Samsung phones. This was done to promote the launch of Galaxy Note 9. Since the developers are now expanding, the game is slowly being made available across all Android devices. Find out how to install Fortnite on your Android phone.
The biggest and most popular battle arena
For those unaware, Fortnite is an immensely liked game and the Battle Royale format is a fan-favorite. Players are dropped from a battle bus onto a map and have to fight for survival. The game can be played alone or in squads of four. Players compete with each other while trying to outrun a shrinking storm. There's only one winner in the Battle Royale.
Here's how you can download Fortnite
Players cannot download Fortnite from the Google Play Store as CEO Tim Sweeney said the company is avoiding it. The reason cited was the 30 percent cut that the Play Store demanded. However, users will find it on the Samsung Game Launcher. Others will have to sign up for Epic's beta through the website. However, there's a waiting list.
Unlock a brand new skin with a Samsung
Players have the unique chance of unlocking a Fortnite Galaxy skin. This was introduced into the game to show the Fortnite-Samsung collaboration. However, the skin only remains available to Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy Tab S4 users.
The final step and a few tips from us
