How to play 'Fortnite' on iPhone
Playing Fortnite on your iPhone is difficult these days considering the game isn't available on the Apple App Store anymore.
Due to legal issues between Apple and Fortnite developers Epic Games, the hit battle-royale shooter is no longer available to download directly from the Apple App Store (unless you're in the EU). However, that doesn't mean you can't play it on your phone.
How to play Fortnite on iPhone
While it's not as easy as before, here’s how you can get started with Xbox's XCloud, Amazon Luna, and Nvidia's GeForce Now.
