Notoriously, Epic Games in one swift decision resulted in Fortnite being pulled from the mobile gaming landscape. In that, the firm decided to discount its virtual ‘V-Buck’ currency to dodge the gouging platform royalties on Android & iOS which ended with the game getting removed from the Google Play Store & App Store. However, the firm is looking to other alternatives to make a comeback.
Earlier this year, it was revealed a closed beta for the game will be going live on Nvidia’s GeForce Now which will stream the game via a browser-based application on Apple’s hardware specifically. Howbeit, Microsoft over a week ago decided to simply launch the game for xCloud. Atop of that, it was revealed an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription would not be necessary to play either.
This week, Nvidia returns to announced Fortnite is now live on GeForce Now for all users. The game can be streamed from the dedicated Google Play app for Android users or via the official Geforce Now website on Apple devices.
GeForce NOW provides millions of gamers the opportunity to stream their favorite PC games — like Fortnite — to nearly any device. Games render on PCs in the cloud with high-performance NVIDIA GPUs and deliver gameplay back to those devices in a fraction of a second. Getting started is easy. Visit the GeForce NOW membership page and choose from one of three levels of performance, including a Free membership option.

“With the addition of touch controls, Fortnite mobile players get GeForce performance they can touch. RTX 3080 members stream improved graphics that render at up to 120 frames per second on select 120Hz Android devices and can play with millions of other Fortnite players around the world,” the post adds.
