Epic Games announced its immensely popular free-to-play battle royale game ‘Fortnite’ to be released on Android this summer. But the company has yet to officially announce a release date for the popular game. A source hints us that the game will be launch exclusively for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. After 30 days it’ll be available for other smartphones listed on their website.
It also suggests to us that, Fortnite Mobile on Android once it launches will be limited to a few Android devices only. Hidden within the source of the Fortnite Mobile page on Epic Games’ website there are lines that instruct users on how to download and install the game on their Android smartphone.
Following the Process:
The first image that’ll be shown to the user instructs them that Fortnite Mobile on Android will be downloaded through the web browser. The second image tells the user that, after they download the app, they’ll be “prompted with some security permissions” which likely refers to enabling installation from unknown sources.
The description states that this is necessary “to install any app outside of the Play Store.”It denotes that the game is not under Google Play Store and will be distributed out to a different source.
