Mobile Fortnite came to Android back in August 2018, but was distributed bypassing Google Play, through the official
What is known
According to Polygon, Fortnite has officially appeared on Google Play. Now gamers will not have to download a separate launcher, and will be able to download the game directly from the official source.
In 2018, Epic Games refused to publishFortnite on Google Play, because it considered the 30% commission to be unfair, since the platform takes 50% of the market. Google did not agree with this and began to interfere with Epic.
The company began labeling games as "unreliable"sources" as malicious, including Fortnite, warning users about the harm of such programs to the device. Epic Games realized that such notifications were driving users away, and decided to release Fortnite on Google Play to retain its audience.

Full Epic Application for Polygon:
After 18 months of Fortnite running on Android outside of the Google Play Store, we've come to one key conclusion:
Google puts downloadable softwareout of Google Play at a disadvantage through technical and business measures. These include constantly pop-up warning windows that scare users and call such applications potentially malicious, and restrictions on transactions with manufacturers and suppliers. The company also uses Google Play Protect to directly block software that extends beyond Google Play.
For this reason, we launched Fortnite for Android on the Google Play store. We will continue to work on Epic Games and Fortnite and beyond Google Play.
We hope that Google will review itsa business policy in the near future, so that all developers can freely use open services on Android and the Play Store, including payment, which will make the competition fair.
