‘Fortnite’ might bypass Google Play Store when it launches on Android

Android users who have been waiting for Fortnite to come to the platform might not need to get the game from Google Play Store. A leak from xda-developers found lines in the game’s mobile page source text that had download instructions. There was an image that references security permissions, which are “necessary to install any app outside of the Play Store.” With Android being an open platform, it lets users download and run apps from any source, making this a possibility. Now, what could make Epic Games considered this move is the additional revenue they can get. Through Google Play, Epic would need to turn over 30% of its revenue to Google. We should find out later in the year when the game officially comes to Android.

‘Fortnite’ rumoured to be coming to the Nintendo Switch

It might not be wise to rely on 4chan for updates but Kotaku seems to think the leaked document discovered on the forum might be reliable enough. Rumour has it that Epic Games will be bringing Fortnite to the Nintendo Switch An anonymous source privy to Epic Games’ plans also confirmed with the site that the game will be coming to the platform.

The leaked document showed part of E3 showroom planning and it featured marketing materials for games like Fortnite, Paladins, Dragon Ball FighterZ, FIFA, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, as well as unannounced games like Killer Queen Black and Overcooked 2. It wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if the game does hit the platform, considering its popularity. Epic Games doesn’t have a comment yet on the report.
