Bring to mobile devices. Almost-check.

That's right, in case you missed it, Fortnite is coming to mobile devices. At the moment of writing this, the game is currently in an invite-only phase and only available on iOS devices. And not long after the first invites went out, many invitees all ran into the same problem: the game kept crashing.

The question is WHY? Well, the most common issue is likely your device is too old.

If you're playing on a phone:

If you're playing Fortnite Mobile on your phone, you will need a compatible device, which means currently an iPhone 6S or SE or better. It's important to note that while the 6S works, the iPhone 6 does not. Why, you ask? Because the iPhone 6 has only 1GB of RAM, while the 6S and newer phones have 2GB of RAM. In other words, the 1GB of RAM on the iPhone 6 is the deal-breaker.

If you're playing on a tablet:

If you're playing Fortnite Mobile on a tablet, you will need an iPad Air 2 or iPad Mini 4 or better. If you have anything earlier, it won't work, because devices before these have 1GB of RAM opposed to 2GBs.

The game is notably not available on Android devices, but it will be sometime in the next few months. If you're reading this before said support, then no, you can't run Fortnite Mobile on your Android device. If you're reading this after said support has come, then you can play Fortnite Mobile on certain devices.

It's important to note that if you don't have the following devices, you won't be able to run Fortnite Mobile. Further, if you're on iOS you will need iOS 11 or higher.

  • iPad 2017
  • iPad Pro
  • iPad Mini 4
  • iPad Air 2
  • iPhone X
  • iPhone SE
  • iPhone 6S (6S Plus)
  • iPhone 7 (7 Plus)
  • iPhone 8 (8 Plus)

The game did crash a ton even with consoles, really frustrated me when my team was so close to winning and boom, the game crashes. Glad to see they've finally fixed it though.

Foam Idk if it's just me but I've tried to open the application on my phone multiple times but it always crashes before the Epic Games part even goes away & im on the iPhone 10?


It just came out. I'm sure they are having loads of trouble trying to pack this game in on any phone currently.

I'd like to try it out on my Android. I don't have a Flagship phone, but I have the OnePlus 5T. It has 8GB of Ram, so hopefully they allow it to download the game later on.
