Fortnite Battle Royale for Android will be available on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 as soon as the phone is released. But it won’t be the only device you can use to enjoy the wildly popular free-to-play, cross-platform online shooter on a smaller screen (albeit the Galaxy Note 9 is anything but a small phone).
In fact, Fortnite for the world’s most popular operating system has gone into open beta recently and is now available for download to people who have signed up and got vetted for the early mobile release.
According to its developer, Epic Games, players on select Samsung Galaxy devices will be able to “drop in immediately,” while access to non-Samsung owners will be rolled out in waves “over the next few days.” Epic says the list of compatible Samsung models includes the following:
- Samsung Galaxy S7

- Samsung Galaxy S8
- Samsung Galaxy S8+
- Samsung Galaxy S9
- Samsung Galaxy S9+

And if you’re still not sure if Fortnite Battle Royale will run properly on your device, Epic notes there might be hope yet assuming your phone or tablet runs Android 5.0 Lollipop or higher on a 64-bit processor and has at least 3GB of RAM and Adreno 530, Mali-G71 MP20, or Mali-G72 MP12 or better graphics.
