LOS ANGELES: Epic Games’ hugely popular free-to-play battle royale game Fortnite is launching on Android soon, but when it does it might not be on available on Google Play.
Wording hidden in the source code of Fortnite Mobile’s web page suggests fans will have to download and instal the game via a web browser, according to XDA Developers.
