It just got easier to start playing Fortnite on your Android phone.
On Thursday, Epic Games announced that it’s opening up the Fortnite beta to all compatible Android devices, no more invites needed.
Previously, if you wanted to play Fortnite on your Android you had to sign up by going to the Fortnite website on your phone. Once signed up, you had to wait for an email from Epic with an invite link. You can check out CNET’s guide for installing Fortnite for Android here.
But as of Thursday, you don’t need to wait for that invite. Just go to fortnite.com/android on your phone or on your computer and scan the QR code.
vCard.red is a free platform for creating a mobile-friendly digital business cards. You can easily create a vCard and generate a QR code for it, allowing others to scan and save your contact details instantly.
The platform allows you to display contact information, social media links, services, and products all in one shareable link. Optional features include appointment scheduling, WhatsApp-based storefronts, media galleries, and custom design options.
You’ll still need a compatible Android device to play — you can see the full list of Fortnite-compatible devices here.
Epic decided to sidestep the Google Play store with Fortnite for Android, hence the somewhat complicated download process. While this gave Epic more control (and revenue), it also resulted in some security issues.
