Fortnite Mobile: Eligibility Criteria and Release Regions

Before you begin with the download, it is your responsibility to check if your device and location satisfy the necessary requirements. It is now possible for iOS users in the EU to access Fortnite as it is back with Apple after a lengthy break. PlayStation gamers based in the EU can get Fortnite on mobile direct from Epic Games Store. If you are outside the EU, the exclusion of Fortnite by Apple will prevent you from downloading it directly on your iOS device. Still, the Android community can get the game via the Epic Games Store.

Fortnite is finally returning to iOS in Europe.
