The first to make such a decision Apple, outraged by the fact that Epic Games – the developer studio – added to the game its own in-app purchase payment tool. Google was outraged too, but a little later. In any case, the game disappeared from Google Play only after a night, although the developers also added a similar innovation to the version for Android simultaneously with iOS.

It is important to understand that this installation method will work even for those who already have Fortnite installed. The fact is that due to the removal of the game from Google Play, the Epic Games developers have lost the opportunity to update it by distributing fresh patches through the catalog. Therefore, if you want to get access to the new season, which started on Friday, you should install the game exactly as described above. It's in your best interest. At the end of the day, it's worth doing just for the sake of being able to buy V-Bucks at 20% off the original price.

When it comes to updates, Epic Games has it covered. After all, Fortnite for Android was originally planned to be self-redistributed by the developer studio. Therefore, new versions of the game will be delivered to users directly through the update tool built into the game client. All that is required of you is to confirm the installation of a fresh assembly when entering the game and wait for it to be downloaded and installed. After that you will be able to join the game again.
