Fortnite, the hottest game of 2018, is finally available on iOS for everyone to download, no invite code needed.

The game has been in beta on iOS the last few weeks and required a special invite code to get in on the battle royal action. Now anyone with an iPhone SE or later can get in on the action anywhere you have an internet connection.

Fortnite on iOS is exactly the same 100-player game you’ve been enjoying on consoles, with the same map and the same weapons. It also supports cross-platform play between PlayStation 4 and PC, but playing against other iPhone users is preferred.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game and way it’s so addictively fun, check out our full guide on how-to dominate Fortnite. The game is supported on the iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, 7, 8, and X. You’ll need an iPad Mini 4, iPad Air 2, 2017 iPad, or an iPad Pro to play on a tablet.

Epic Games just published a new update to Fortnite last week that added a number of new features like party text chat, guided missiles and more. Thre free-to-play game can be downloaded from the App Store now.
