Despite not being available on iOS and Android, Fortnite still remains one of the most popular battle royale games on the market. It is still accessible on several platforms including game consoles, PCs, and certain cloud gaming platforms. According to Amazon, Fortnite is now available on Amazon Luna, Amazon Fire TV, and Fire tablets.
In case you don’t remember, Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, pulled the game from the iOS and Android stores. This was because of the 30% fee that Epic Games had to pay each respective platform for hosting its app. This led to a messy legal battle and Fortnite being yanked off of both platforms.
However, the game still remains playable on mobile devices via GeForce Now, Nvidia’s cloud gaming service.
Fortnite is available on Amazon Luna, Fire TV, and Fire Tablets
According to a blog post from the company, you can play Fortnite using these platforms if you’re in the United States, Canada, Germany, or the UK. This is very convenient if you miss having Fortnite on your mobile device. It’s also great if you just want to play the game in general.
Amazon Luna, being a cloud gaming service, allows you to play games on a wide range of devices including PCs, MacBooks, Android tablets/iPads, and Android phones/iPhones. You can use it if you have the Chrome browser, Microsoft Edge, or Safari browser. You can see the full list of compatible devices here.
If you already have a Luna-compatible device, and you use it, then you’re all set to go. In order to play Fortnite on your Luna device, you will need to have a Luna Plus subscription. The plan costs $9.99/month, so it’s not too bad.
If you own an Amazon Fire TV device, you can also use that to play Fortnite. The game is compatible with Amazon Fire TV Sticks as old as the second generation, and Amazon Fire TV Cubes as old as the first generation. It’s also compatible with the third-generation Fire TV along with the Toshiba Fire TV, Insignia Fire TV, and several more. The full list is in the link above.
Also, you can also use fire tablets. It’s compatible with the Fire 7 (2019 or newer), Fire HD 8 (2018 or newer), and Fire HD 10 (2019 or newer) tablets. It’s available today if you want to get playing Fortnite as soon as possible.
