Battle royale giant Fortnite is coming to mobile, will have cross play with PC and console

Following success on PC and console Epic Games is bringing its hit game Fortnite to mobile devices.

Specifically, the developer is releasing the battle royale mode on iOS, with an Android version coming at a later date.

The title will also include cross-play with PS4, PC, and Mac users, and Xbox One, PC and Mac users. Looks like Sony still has issues with doing cross-play between consoles. 

Epic said the mobile release would feature the same gameplay, map, content and weekly updates as its desktop and console counterparts.

Fortnite Battle Royale will require iOS 11 and at least an iPhone 6S/SE, iPad Mini 4, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 or iPad 2017 device.
