Epic Games has just announced it’s bringing its free-to-play multiplayer game to both iOS and Android devices, with the former having its beta test starting soon. The port will be available for both phones and tablets and you’re promised the “same 100-player game you know from the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Mac” with all the same gameplay content, weekly updates, and maps the PC and console versions get. Those who are interested to try out can sign up for the iOS beta starting March 12th and invites will roll out soon afterwards with players getting invitations with several invites that can be sent out to friends.
There will be cross-play and cross-progression between the PS4, PC, Mac, iOS, and later on when the Android version comes out (which is said to be in a few months). This means if you have friends playing on other platforms, you would be able to team up with them. There won’t be any cross-play with Xbox One it seems but as the game’s developer says, they did this in partnership with Sony so that explains the lack of support for Microsoft’s console. Sony has previously turned down cross-platform gameplay with Microsoft’s Xbox One.
