Epic Games has removed the download by invitation on the game Fortnite for Android, so here's how to install and how to play the famous video game on smartphones
After the first months of launch, Fortnite is finally available even without an invitation on Android smartphones. This means that we can install the game without waiting for an invitation from Epic Games, as was the case until a few days ago.
Fortnite for Android has been a long time coming. After months of exclusivity on iOS, the survival game signed Epic Games had landed in the Android world but with big limitations. One of all the invitation to download and play the game on your smartphone. A fact that has greatly limited users with Google OS cell phones. Not to mention the few smartphone models initially compatible (for weeks the game was only available on Samsung's Galaxy Note 9). Now, however, the invitation has been removed and installing Fortnite on Android will become much easier.
How to install Fortnite for Android
Warning, though: Fortnite should not be searched among the various applications in the Google Play Store. In fact, the game has not been included by Epic Games in the famous digital store of Mountain View, but can only be downloaded exclusively on the official website. Why this choice? Simple, because if the game had been included in the Play Store, Epic Games would have had to share part of the proceeds of downloads with Google. The developer company, seeing that there are tens and tens of millions of dollars at stake, has decided to make the installation of the game available only from its site. Per evitare di cadere nella trappola di hacker o cyber criminali perciò prima di scaricare qualsiasi file accertiamoci di essere sul serio sul portale di Fortnite creato da Epic Games e non su un sito maligno.

L’importante è rispettare alcune caratteristiche tecniche fondamentali. Quali sono queste caratteristiche tecniche? The important thing is that your mobile device has at least 3 gigabytes of RAM, an Adreno 530 graphics accelerator or higher, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or higher and runs Android 8.0 or higher.
How to find out smartphone specs
If the technical specifications of the phone you use every day are a real mystery to you, have no fear. Finding out the features of your device is very easy. Just do a search for your model online, for example on specialized sites such as GSMArena. In these portals just enter the type of smartphone you own to view a data sheet with all the features. If the search on the Net seems too complex, we can install specific applications on the Android smartphone. These are easy-to-use programs that once downloaded and launched provide us with a full report of the technical specifications of the phone in use. Which of these apps should be installed? Among the most lightweight, intuitive and accurate are Spectify, CPU-Z and Droid Hardware Info.
