How to play Fortnite on iPhone and iPad

pocket-lint.com:

(Pocket-lint) — Fortnite was pulled from the Apple App Store almost a year-and-a-half ago and since then, iPhone and iPad users haven't been able to install it.

Those who had already downloaded it were also left behind after Chapter 2 Season 4 was launched.

Android users have been able to install the Fortnite app onto their mobile devices by sideloading it from the Epic Games App — thereby circumnavigating the Google Play Store — but Apple device owners have no such getaround.

Until now.

A touch-friendly, mobile version of Fortnite is on its way via Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service. A limited-time closed beta will launch soon and you can pre-register to play it here.

Here's what you will need to get it working when it arrives.

A touch-friendly version of Fortnite will launch in closed beta form on GeForce Now soon. That means it'll be able to be played on Android devices via the native GeForce Now app (if you don't want to sideload the game itself) and on iPhone and iPad via a Safari workaround.

Here's how to install GeForce Now on your iOS or iPadOS device:

— First, open Safari on your iPhone or iPad, head to play.geforcenow.com.

— Look at the bottom of the screen (on iPhone) or top-right (on iPad) to see the share button. Tap on it.

— In the share menu, scroll down to «Add to Home Screen» and tap on it.

— Hit «Add».

— This will add an app icon on your device, which you can move wherever you like.

— Tap on the new GeForce Now icon and you will be presented with GeForce Now terms and conditions. Agree to them.

— Sign in or register for a GeForce Now account via the user icon in the top right-hand corner. Log in.

— You may now need to sync your Steam and, most importantly for Fortnite, an Epid Games Store
