Fortnite has been playable on iOS since April, and Epic Games announced in May that it would arrive on Android devices this summer. But, if a pair of new reports are to be believed, Fortnite on Android will get a 30-day timed exclusive on Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 before coming to other Android devices.
Both 9to5Google and XDA Developers reported the supposed timed exclusivity. Rumors peg the release date of the Galaxy Note 9 – which Samsung won’t even reportedly officially announce until August 9 – as August 24. If all of these reports and rumors are accurate, that would mean all other Android users would have to wait until at least last September before being able to play Fortnite on their devices.
