Fortnite Battle Royale first came to iOS devices a month ago, but at the time, you needed an invite code to play. That's no longer the case.
Fortnite is now open to everyone on iOS. Simply point your compatible Apple device to the App Store to download it and then you can jump onto the island and take on 99 other competitors to try and score a Victory Royale.
As for which devices are compatible, you'll need an iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 7, iPhone 6S, iPhone SE, iPad Pro, iPad 2017, iPad Air 2, or iPad mini 4 running iOS 11. Devices that are not supported include the iPhone 6, iPhone 5S, iPod touch, iPad Air, iPad mini 3, and iPad mini 2.
Fortnite will launch on Android sometime in the coming months.
If you've never played Fornite, the premise is simple: You jump onto an island with 99 other people, pick up weapons to shoot at other players, and try to be the last person standing. There's a circle that gets smaller and smaller as time goes on and you'll take damage if you're outside of the circle, so you'll have to stay inside it if you want to win.
Fortnite is also available on the PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and developer Epic Games says that the mobile version of Fortnite is the same game as on those more powerful systems. "Same gameplay, same map, same content, same weekly updates," the company says. In fact, mobile players can compete with people playing on the PlayStation 4, PC, and Mac, and your progress will carry over if you switch between platforms, too.
You can get Fortnite from the App Store right here. Have you tried Fortnite Battle Royale on mobile? If so, what do you think of it?
