Epic Games' Fortnite is one of the most popular battle royale titles out there, and is available on all platforms, except for Apple devices. For those who've been living under a rock, Apple pulled Fortnite from its storefront back in August 2020 and there's a whole big legal battle between Epic Games and the tech giant. In 2022, Fortnite is returning to iOS thanks to GeForce NOW.
Here's how you can register to finally play Fortnite on your iOS device again, and what you need to know about playing the game via GeForce NOW.
Fortnite on iOS: How to register
There are a few things you should know about Fortnite on iOS via GeForce NOW, including how to register.
First off, this is a limited-time closed beta, featuring a new touch-control version of Fortnite, delivered through the cloud via GeForce NOW.
To register for Fortnite on iOS via GeForce NOW, you will need to sign up for the service. After you've signed up, simply head on over to this page and click on the "Join Waitlist" button for a chance to get into the beta.
A paid GeForce NOW membership is not required to join the beta for Fortnite on mobile. iOS users who get in will be able to stream Fortnite via GeForce NOW using the Safari web browser on their mobile device.
NVIDIA explains: "You could be one of the first to access this limited closed beta to help us test out the new streaming experience on iOS Safari and Android mobile devices. The new touch-control version means you can jump in and start playing right away with just the screen and your fingers, no gamepad or keyboard/mouse are needed."
Fortnite iOS GeForce NOW release date
The release date for the Fortnite on mobile Closed Beta via GeForce NOW has not been specified at the time of writing. However, NVIDIA did note it would release "next week" which puts the release date between 17th and 23rd January 2022.
As far as a full launch goes, well, that's anyone's guess. There is no current release date for the full launch of Fortnite on mobile via GeForce NOW.
For those with an Apple device that simply can't wait to play Fortnite again, we hope you get in. Good luck!
