Fortnite‘s battle with tech giants Google and Apple is still running. But the game is still banned from Google Play Store and the App Store after the ruling went against Epic Games’ side. However, that does not mean that you cannot install the game on Android phones as there are other sources you that provide Fortnite.

Downloading and installing the app is pretty straightforward and Samsung Galaxy device owners have it way easier.

How To Install Fortnite On Other Android Phones

Playing Fortnite on a non-Samsung device requires one to download the app directly from Epic. Since you are getting the game from outside the Play Store, you will need to go to the phone’s settings and allow installation of apps from unknown sources.

After that, you will have to follow these steps to install the game:

1. Navigate through the Fortnite site on your phone.
2. Select the  “Get it on the Epic Games app” option in order to get the Epic Games client. This is what will enable your phone to get the Fortnite app.
3. Tap the Open button to commence installation of Epic Games.
