Fortnite continues to be one of the most popular online games in the world. There are said to be well over 200 million players logging in to play the game every day on a variety of different devices. The game is also being constantly improved. These updates not only include support for new phones, but also enhancements to the gameplay too. 

When Fortnite was originally released for Android it was in beta mode and allied to Samsung. The Korean giant partnered with Epic Games to offer Fortnite on the Galaxy Note 9 for 30-days exclusively.

However, the list of compatible Android devices is now much larger. Fortnite has also recently been updated to bring 60fps to several devices, both Android and iPhone. This update also includes Bluetooth controller support

These new changes should mean a smoother and more fluid gaming experience as long as you have the power to support it. 

Which devices support 60fps?

Epic Games rolled out support for 60fps on consoles back in February 2018. That list included the PS4, Xbox One, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, all of which default to 60fps as standard. 

After extensive testing, the company also started rolling out support for 60fps play across several flagship smartphones. This initially began with Apple iPhones, that list of Apple devices now includes:

  • Apple iPhone XS
  • Apple iPhone XS Max
  • Apple iPhone XR

Similar support for the Apple iPad Pro (second generation 10.5-inch and 12.9-inch versions) was released in December 2018

On Android, a small list of flagship Android phones also supports 60fps with more coming in future. Currently supported devices include:

For the sake of battery life, these phones as well as the various Apple iPhones all default to 30fps as standard. If you have one of these smartphones and wish to play with higher frames per second, you'll need to select the option in the game's settings.
