Fortnite Android Release Date Leaked But Could Be Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Timed Exclusive
By Ford James ·
A report has surfaced which suggests the long-awaited Android version of Fortnite Battle Royale will only be available on the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for 30 days.
Fortnite on Android has been in the works for months now, with Android users clamouring for the game ever since it launched on iPhones in April. A recent report from 9to5Google has surfaced with details about how the launch will go, when it’s coming out and interestingly, pre-order bonuses that will come with the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 device.
According to 9to5Google, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 device is set to be revealed on August 9 at an “Unpacked” event. Pre-orders will then open on August 14, followed by the full release of the device on August 24. Apparently, Fortnite will be exclusive to the device for 30 days, meaning that anyone who doesn’t pick up the new smartphone from Samsung won’t be able to play until late September (assumedly, September 23).
If you pre-order the device, you’ll allegedly receive V-Bucks to use in-game - approximately $100-$150 worth. If you’re not into the worldwide battle royale gaming phenomenon though, then you can opt for some wireless AKG headphones instead. None of this information has been confirmed but if it’s true, keep an eye out for the Samsung Unpacked event on August 9.
In other Fortnite news, the new Divemasters gear is currently in the shop and Epic have announced a new Solo Showdown LTM which will qualify the top players for future esports events.
