Fortnite, the massively popular free-to-play battle royale game, is coming soon to Android. Epic Games said the game would launch this summer but we now know that the game will likely launch as an exclusive on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. It won’t be on the Google Play Store (but possibly on Samsung Galaxy Apps) as the game will be distributed from Epic Games’ website. If you’re wondering whether your Android smartphone or tablet is powerful enough to run Fortnite Mobile on Android, we have put together a comprehensive list of software and hardware requirements based on a configuration file we obtained from a leaked build of the Android app.
In the past week, we posted a list of Android smartphones that might support Fortnite Mobile on Android as well as a set of minimum requirements needed to run the game. The former list was obtained from Epic Games’ mobile sign-up page but is dated back to the release of the iOS version of the game. Hence, it’s a few months old and might not be representative of what devices will actually be capable of running Fortnite. The minimum requirements list is up-to-date as it was recently updated just this week, but it contained few details about exactly which Android devices will be powerful enough to run Fortnite Mobile on Android.
Fortunately, we were able to obtain a full, detailed list of supported hardware. This list is based on an encrypted configuration file within the Fortnite Mobile APK. This list is used by the app to determine whether your device will be allowed to run the app. This is by far the most comprehensive list one can find of supported hardware for Fortnite Mobile on Android. If you are wondering whether your Android smartphone or tablet is able to play Fortnite Mobile, then read on.
Note: this article is based on leaked information that we have exclusively obtained. The configuration file is dated from an internal Fortnite update that rolled out August 4th, 2018, so it contains up-to-date information. However, given the potentially lengthy Samsung Galaxy exclusivity period, it’s possible for additional devices to become compatible before the general release of Fortnite Mobile on Android. Should that happen, we will update this article accordingly.
Before you can view the tables to determine whether your Android device is capable of running Fortnite, you’ll need to know what hardware is inside your phone. To do so, we’ll need a free app called “DevCheck” from the Google Play…
