Fortnite on Android is now available for all Android users after previously being given a summer beta, but you can’t get it from the Google Play store.

However, there’s a weird thing to deal with Fortnite on Android. You can only download it off of the game’s website, rather than downloading it off of the Google Play store.

Either way, if you own an Android phone and are a Fortnite fan, you can pick up Fortnite on Android now.
