If you’re an avid Fortnite player and own an iPhone or iPad, you might be wondering if it’s possible to play the game on your iOS device in 2023. The short answer is yes, but it’s not as straightforward as you might think.
Fortnite is no longer available on the App Store after Epic Games lost its case against Apple. The game has been banned from the marketplace for the next five years. However, there is a way to play the game on your iPhone or iPad, but it requires the use of a cloud gaming service.
One of the most popular cloud gaming services is Nvidia’s GeForce Now, which is completely free to use. To get started, you’ll need to sign up for a Nvidia account on the official GeForce Now website and select a membership tier. If you want to play Fortnite on maximum graphics and 120 FPS, you’ll need to choose the RTX 3080 tier. However, the free tier should be more than enough to run the game on your iOS device.

How to play Fortnite in iOS devices in 2023?
Once you’ve signed up for GeForce Now, you’ll need to add the app to your Home Screen. To do this, tap on the Share button in Safari and select Add to Home Screen. This will create a new app on your Home Screen that you can use to play video games through the cloud on your mobile phone.
To play Fortnite on your iPhone or iPad, simply launch the new app and select the game from the list of available titles. You can also link your existing Epic Games account through the app, as the game supports cross-progression.
It’s worth noting that the free tier of GeForce Now generally has a queue, which means you may have to wait up to 30 minutes to get into a game and shoot down buildings. You can play for one hour each time. On the other hand, the paid tiers of GeForce Now have no waiting queue and allow you to play Fortnite on your iPhone or iPad whenever you want. Both paid tiers also offer longer gaming sessions and access to Nvidia’s RTX technology, which can make the game look even more stunning on your Apple devices.
In conclusion, it is possible to play Fortnite on your iPhone or iPad in 2023, but you’ll need to use a cloud gaming service like GeForce Now. While it may not be as convenient as downloading the game directly from the App Store, it’s still a viable option for avid Fortnite players who own an iOS device.
