Fortnite is back on iPhone! How to play for free

0

Despite Apple’s firm rejection, Fortnite is still returning to the iPhone. No, not through the App Store , because in Cupertino a year ago they deleted the Epic Games developer account and no longer agree to restore it, but in a roundabout way, through the GeForce Now cloud gaming service. In fact, the game itself had been available on the site for a long time, but it was impossible to play it without a special controller. But now the developers have adapted Fortnite to work without external hardware, and it is about to become available to everyone.

Because GeForce Now runs in the cloud, you can play Fortnite on your iPhone through a browser. The service does not have its own client for iOS. Apple also does not allow it to appear in the App Store, requiring that all games available on the site also be uploaded to the app store.

How to run Fortnite on iPhone

Even though Fortnite will work in Safari, there shouldn’t be any difference from gaming through the native app. The developers have done a great job of optimizing Fortnite for touch control, and therefore there will be no control problems even in the browser. However, a number of games will require a game controller, because some of them are not adapted for touch. If you’re looking for a game controller for your iPhone, this is the one I recommend. It is inexpensive and connects wirelessly.

An adapted version of Fortnite for iPhone will appear in GeForce Now only next week as part of closed beta testing. The developers claim that it will be short-term, that is, the release will take place very soon. However, everyone can sign up for the Fortnite beta test right now. Here’s how to do it:

  • Fill out the registration form and submit it for verification;
  • If you are selected to participate in the beta test, you will receive an email with a link to the game.

How to play GeForce Now for free

Access to GeForce Now can be both paid and free. The free one does not require a subscription, unlike the paid one, which costs 999 rubles per month. The main advantage of a paid subscription is priority access to servers. That is, you do not have to stand in lines, waiting for a free seat. Many games do not have problems with queues, but new and popular ones do.

A free subscription to GeForce Now is activated by default immediately after registration. That is, you do not need to do anything to enable it. However, this does not mean that you will be able to play all the games available on the site for free. GeForce Now offers both paid and free games. The latter are placed in a separate category. Here’s how to find it:

  • Go to the GeForce Now service website and log in;
  • Open the “Games” tab at the top of the screen;
    • In the “Category” section on the left, select “Free Game”;
    • Find the game you want and click the “Launch” button.

    There are also paid games, as you know. To play them, you have to pay separately. Or, if they have already been purchased and linked to your Steam account, you can use them. In this case, GeForce Now will simply act as an intermediary. The service will launch and process your game, as it would with those that it offers itself.

    How to link Steam to GeForce Now

    Many games on GeForce Now are owned by other copyright holders. For example, Steam or Epic Games. You will see a corresponding note in the game card. It is needed here for a reason, but so that you understand which account you need to link to the service. Let’s say you want to play War Thunder. This game is available on Steam. So your bind actions will look like this:

    • Find the game in the GFN catalog and open its card;
    • Select the platform on which you are going to play (in our case, Steam);
    • Click “Play” and log in to your Steam account;
    • Wait for the account linking and start the game.

    GeForce Now app on iOS

    Keep in mind that Fortnite for iPhone , like the regular version, will most likely have to be linked to an Epic Games account, which is its provider on the site. Therefore, take care to create an appropriate account in advance if you do not already have one. Then you can immediately start the game as soon as it is officially available on GeForce Now. And for convenience, I recommend adding the PWA version of the service to your desktop.

    • Return to the desktop, launch GeForce Now and log in;
    • Connect a game controller to play or choose a customized game.

    Most games on GeForce Now require external peripherals. It can be a keyboard and mouse or a game controller. However, there are also solutions adapted for touch control. To find them, open the “Games” tab and in the “Category” section, select “For Smartphones”. This will open a list of all titles optimized for touchscreen control.
