We understand that communication is key once you’re squadding up for that victory Royale, so we’re operating to bring voice chat to mobile. On top of that, you’ll be ready to chat with your teammates no matter platform,” the web log post reads. Epic is also working on strong opt-in options and muting features to make positive voice chat isn't abused. “We’re also wanting to make it very easy to mute yourself, different players, or open up all communications with a simple tap. there'll be a button on the screen that lets you mute yourself, mute everybody in your party, or go back to open-microphone.
Fortnite for Android release date
The State of Mobile
By The Fortnite TeamHi all,
Since launch, we’ve been working to make the experience better, including a number of quality of life and performance improvements.
CUSTOMIZABLE HUD
We’ve heard your requests for the ability to customize the HUD and, earlier this week, we added this feature to the game. Try it out and let us know what you think. We’re excited to get this into your hands!
VOICE CHAT
We know that communication is key when you’re squadding up for that Victory Royale, so we’re working to bring voice chat to mobile. On top of that, you’ll be able to chat with your teammates regardless of platform!
We’re also looking to make it really easy to mute yourself, other players, or open up all communications with a simple tap. There will be a button on the screen that lets you mute yourself, mute everyone in your party, or go back to open-microphone.
GAMEPLAY AND CONTROLS
We’re continuing to work on improvements. Some upcoming examples include improving Autorun and adding better ways to fire. Once we roll out these changes, we’ll add options to the settings so you can try them out and see what works best for you!
INSTALLATION SIZE AND UPDATE EXPERIENCE
We are aware of the large installation size of Fortnite on mobile and are working to reduce that size. Over the next few updates we’ll be compressing the size down while maintaining performance. We’ll be making overall patch sizes smaller and adding the ability to download the content in the background!
FORTNITE ANDROID
Fortnite is coming to Android!
We are targeting this summer for the release. We know many of you are excited for this release, and we promise that when we have more information to share, you’ll hear it from us first.
GAME PERFORMANCE
We see some areas where game performance can can be improved. We’re fixing code to optimize the experience (e.g. increase graphic quality), as well as adding a Battery-Saver mode which will allow you increased performance if you choose to lower the graphic quality. It’s our first implementation of this option and we’ll continue to improve upon it.
STATS
Many of you have asked for stat tracking on mobile. We are working to improve our stats servers so we can handle many more players, including those on mobile. We’re looking to enable this sometime this summer, once we are confident the improvements are performing up to our expectations.
STABILITY
Finally, stability is still one of our chief concerns. With every update we’re working to fix crashes and other issues as you report them. If you’re regularly running into stability issues, please let us know using the “Feedback” button in-game.
Thank you for all of your support and feedback!
Thanks,
The Fortnite Team
In addition to an android release this summer and voice chat someday within the foreseeable future, Epic is also working on gameplay options like firing and auto-run, improving performance and introducing a battery-saving mode, and making sure players on mobile will access in-game statistics.
Fortnite has been available on iOS since the middle of March, wherever it’s rocketed to the highest of the App Store’s free charts. Mobile analytics firm detector Tower calculable the company created $15 million in in-app purchases in the initial 3 weeks it was live on the App Store. which means an android launch may drastically increase the game’s revenue-generating potential.
