How to Play Fortnite via GeForce Now on iOS and iPadOS
Fortnite via GeForce on iOS and iPadOS – Almost a year and a half ago, Fortnite was pulled from the Apple App Store and iPhone and iPad users haven’t been able to download it since.
After Chapter 2 Season 4 was released, those who had already downloaded it was also left behind.
While Android users have been able to sideload the Fortnite app from the Epic Games App – circumventing the Google Play Store – Apple device owners cannot do so.
Through Nvidia’s GeForce Now cloud gaming service, Nvidia will release a touch-friendly, mobile version of Fortnite. You can pre-register for a limited-time closed beta that will launch soon.

What is GeForce Now?
Nvidia’s GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service that is available across a variety of devices, such as mobile, PC, Mac, Chromebook, Nvidia Shield TV, and several smart TVs.
Although there is also a free option, it is a paid membership service. The free membership is limited. You can only play for up to an hour at a time without logging out and logging back in. You may have to wait for access to the source, where it plays games on a basic PC gaming rig.
A priority membership costs £8.99 / $8.99 / €9.99 per month and gives you access to better features. Gaming is possible at up to 1080p 60fps with the PC’s RTX graphics card and ray-tracing capabilities. Playtime is also extended to six hours.
