<p id="LEEHBi">If you&#8217;re aching to play <a href="https://www.polygon.com/game/fortnite/2417"><em>Fortnite</em></a> on your Android device, the time has come. </p>
<p id="3uHYa4">Epic Games announced today that <em>Fortnite</em> is available for all players on Android devices &#8212; no longer just those who were invited to the earlier, private beta. The game first launched on Android <a href="https://www.polygon.com/2018/8/23/17772924/fortnite-android-galaxy-note-9">alongside the Samsung Galaxy Note 9</a>, and only owners of that and other recent Samsung Galaxy devices had access to the game until now. </p>
<p id="355oUe">Players who want to download the game will have to go to <a href="https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/mobile/android/get-started">Epic&#8217;s specific <em>Fortnite</em> website</a>, as the game isn&#8217;t available to download through Google&#8217;s Play Store. Epic&#8217;s CEO, Tim Sweeney, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2018/8/3/17645982/epic-games-fortnite-android-version-bypass-google-play-store">told The Verge</a> in August that the company wants a &#8220;direct relationship with our customers on all platforms where that&#8217;s possible.&#8221;</p>
<p id="xkcfNw">&#8220;The great thing about the Internet and the digital revolution is that this is possible, now that physical storefronts and middlemen distributors are no longer required.&#8221;</p>
<p id="t1cKe1"><em>Fortnite </em>is already available for iOS players, but through Apple&#8217;s App Store. Sweeney <a href="https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2018-fortnite-on-android-doesnt-use-google-play-confirmed">told Eurogamer</a> that, if Epic Games had the option, the company would bypass distributing the game through the App Store, but that&#8217;s not possible. Still, <a href="https://www.polygon.com/fortnite/2018/8/6/17655888/fortnite-android-google-play-store-epic-games">Sweeney told Polygon</a> in August that he&#8217;s hopeful more openness will occur across all platforms. </p>
<p id="ixOXC8">&#8220;Already you can purchase <em>Fortnite</em> V-Bucks or in-game items on PC, Mac, iOS, or Android and use them on all of those other devices, and even on some combination of console platforms,&#8221; Sweeney said. &#8220;We&#8217;d love to see the whole circle completed.&#8221;</p>
<p id="KkniYg">To download <em>Fortnite </em>on your Android device, go to the <a href="http://fortnite.com/android"><em>Fortnite</em> website</a> and scan the QR code. </p>
