Fortnite Mobile is still not available on Android. However, on Apple’s iOS devices, Epic is making a fortune. On May 1st, revenues soared particularly high: The launch of Season 4 caused expenditures in app stores worldwide to explode.
How much has Fortnite earned on iOS so far? Fortnite earned over $25 million in the first 30 days on iOS. This sum has now doubled in just 2 weeks. From March 15th to May 1st, Fortnite Mobile generated as much revenue again as in the first 30 days, reports the site Sensortower. Fortnite has now surpassed $50 million since its launch on March 15th.
What happened on May 1st? On May 1st, the new Season 4 of Fortnite launched. Players apparently purchased the $10 Battle Pass in droves, which unlocks special rewards for Season 4 if they are diligent in Battle Royale. According to Sensortower, the revenues here were 293% higher than the revenues on the previous Thursday. They were about 4 times as high.
Where is Fortnite Mobile for Android? Although Fortnite is such a hit on iOS, making $25 million worldwide in 14 days, the port to Android is still awaited. While iOS, Apple’s operating system, is standardized and could be quickly addressed, there are plans from Epic to bring Fortnite to Android, but that may still take time. Meanwhile, there are several scam sites on the internet promising that you can play Fortnite Android now. But these are fakes.
What makes Fortnite Mobile special? Most ports of successful desktop or console games are scaled-down versions. Fortnite Mobile, however, is the full-fledged Battle Royale game. Epic can offer this because they develop the engine on which Fortnite runs themselves, and this engine is tailored for mobile games. Therefore, they currently have a strong advantage over other studios.
