Mobile Fortnite players can get ready to return to the island on their iPhone and iOS devices, despite the game being removed and banned from the App Store in 2020.
After months of back-and-forth legal proceedings between Apple and Epic Games, with iOS users unable to play Fortnite on their Apple devices for the duration of the lawsuit, it looks like things could be set to change.
While the game isn’t returning to the App Store, you’ll soon be able to play it via Safari on your iOS device thanks to NVIDIA GeForce.
Here’s how you can start playing Fortnite on iOS again.
This will be the first time iOS players will compete alongside PC and console gamers in months.
Play Fortnite on iPhone and iPad
To play Fortnite on your iOS device again, you’ll have to be a GeForce Now (GFN) member and sign up to the closed beta, as announced on January 13, 2022.
Follow these steps below to play Fortnite on your iOS mobile device:
- Register or sign in to GeForce Now. You do not need a paid membership to participate.
- Sign up to the Fortnite closed beta.
- Wait for the beta to start rolling out in week commencing January 17.
