While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available on Play because it violates our policies. For game developers who choose to use the Play Store, we have consistent policies that are fair to developers and keep the store safe for users. The open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app stores. When Google removed Fortnite from the Google Play Store, the company explained: It’s a little different on Android, however, as this is a more open platform. Unfortunately for iOS users, this means they can’t download and play Fortnite or, if they already have it installed, will not be able to download the next season update. Without rehashing the legal issues at hand, the key takeaway right now is that Fortnite is no longer available for download on either the App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android. Once it does, you’ll need to download the 90MB game file by tapping the Install button.By Matthew Liebl 2 years ago Follow Tweetįortnite is no longer available on Google Play but you can still download it on Android devices.Īs I’m sure you’re well aware right now, there’s an ongoing feud between Epic Games and two of the largest companies in the world, Apple and Google. It’ll take a few seconds for the Fortnite Launcher to install. A separate warning will appear-just tap OK on that.įrom there, tap the back button to jump back into the Fortnite installer, then tap the Install button. When you tap the Settings button, it will take you to the Security menu, where you’ll slide the Unknown Sources toggle to the On position. On Android 7.0 (Nougat) and below, the process is basically the same (though fundamentally different-you can read more about that here). One Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above, this is done on a per-app basis, so you’ll need to allow it for whatever browser you’re using to download the app (in our case, that’s Chrome beta).
This will move you into the menu to allow apps to be installed from unknown sources (aka “sideloading”). If a warning dialog pops up, cap the Settings button.
When the installation launches, it will likely be blocked by default. But here’s where the process starts to get a little more fuzzy-especially depending on what version of Android your phone is running.
