The wait for Android users has finally come to an end. Fortnite, a 2017 video game, is most likely to feature in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9 smartphone. This could be a good news for many of you out there who are still playing the PC and iOS version of the game. Those who have never heard the name before, Fortnite is a co-operative shooter-survival game, which can hook up to 100 players online at a single session. The game, which was initially developed only for desktops then later for the iOS platforms, has many modes made available with each update and season. Honor 9N Smartphone Fash Sale Tomorrow Exclusively on Flipkart, Offering Jio Cashbacks, Data & Myntra Vouchers.

Going by the above list, it is somewhat clear that Fortnite may not be supported by all devices possibly due to hardware incompatibility.
