Fortnite's Android Beta Is Live

Fortnite first jumped into the mobile scene back in April, but Epic Games' crazy popular battle royale game alluded Android owners, until now. No need for an invitation, you can grab the Android beta from Fortnite.com/android. Fortnite's official twitter encourages players to "squad up" and download the beta today.

Not sure your phone is up to the task? Here are Fortnite's recommended specs on Android:

  • OS: Recommended Android 8.0 or higher, 64 bit
  • RAM: Recommended 4GB or higher
  • GPU: Adreno 530 or higher, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or higher

This announcement comes right on the heels of news that Epic Games purchased Helsinki-based Kamu. This start-up is best know for its Easy Anti-Cheat software with which Epic promises to cut down on Fortnite cheaters. 

Android players joining now can also look forward to Fortnite's rumored upcoming Halloween skins. Some of the highly anticipated seasonal goodies were recently leaked and have players amped for the spookiest time of the year. If scary isn't your style, Epic also teased a limited-time Disco Domination event. Not much is known about the new mode, but who wouldn't be excited to parachute into a dance battle royale?
