Fortnite on iOS: Closed beta date and how to register

Epic Games' Fortnite is one of the most popular battle royale titles out there, and is available on all platforms, except for Apple devices. For those who've been living under a rock, Apple pulled Fortnite from its storefront back in August 2020 and there's a whole big legal battle between Epic Games and the tech giant. In 2022, Fortnite is returning to iOS thanks to GeForce NOW.

Here's how you can register to finally play Fortnite on your iOS device again, and what you need to know about playing the game via GeForce NOW.

A paid GeForce NOW membership is not required to join the beta for Fortnite on mobile. iOS users who get in will be able to stream Fortnite via GeForce NOW using the Safari web browser on their mobile device.

NVIDIA explains: "You could be one of the first to access this limited closed beta to help us test out the new streaming experience on iOS Safari and Android mobile devices. The new touch-control version means you can jump in and start playing right away with just the screen and your fingers, no gamepad or keyboard/mouse are needed."
