Surely you have already forgotten that there was a time when Fortnite was a game that was available in the Apple store and that you had it installed for months. Unfortunately, the storage space was getting smaller and you had no better idea than to remove it from the iPhone, so when the war broke out between Epic Games and those of Cupertino, you didn’t have time to download it again just before the ban from the App Store.
You can still play Fortnite
Thus, more than two years after that terrible moment, iPhone and iPad users have a very difficult time using Fortnite on their devices again since Apple has not opened its hand and has blocked any loophole for Epic Games to come back up. nothing to the digital store . Does that mean we should say goodbye to any chance of getting the game on our mobiles? Luckily the answer to that question is “No.”
Fortnite is still active on your iPhone , although in a way that you don’t expect, since you won’t be able to download or install it the old-fashioned way, so we have had to find an alternative that is still as useful and fun as ever, which is the to resort to a cloud system through the famous Microsoft Xbox Cloud Gaming, which is linked to the Game Pass subscription. If you have an account with this service, you will be able to enjoy Fortnite on your iPhone without any problems.
How to play Fortnite on your iPhone?
The first thing you are going to do is open your iPhone browser , specifically Safari, and copy and paste the following URL:
- https://www.xbox.com/en-us/play
Next , it will ask you to create a shortcut on the iOS home screen , in such a way that you will have an icon to touch to start a game in any flat rate game. When you have already created it, then it is time to go to put Fortnite again on your phone, performing the following steps:
- Open the Xbox Game Pass shortcut you created on the iPhone (or iPad) home screen.
- The sign-in screen with your Microsoft account will appear.
- Once you have successfully logged in, go find Fortnite within the catalog (when the service detects that you are connecting from an iPhone, it will show you the Epic Games game almost first).
- Click on the game and within the screen that describes its characteristics, you will see a green Play button (in this case you can do it without having to have a gamepad linked to the mobile because Fortnite has touch controls).
- Start the game.
There is another method to play that is to use GeForce NOW!, it is also a cloud gaming service, from Nvidia, and it rents you high-performance PCs to play with your account and (part of) your purchases in Steam.
