Update Fortnite using Epic Games Installer
Luckily, the company already had a Plan B in the case of not continuing on the Google platform, something that seemed to have been raised for a long time. Epic Games doesn't like the idea of grant you 30% commission for purchases in the game to Google, with the consequent increase in prices for users.
Therefore, and with part of the work already done from the previous stage, Fortnite has a system of very easy installation and update, fast and intuitive. Thus, the method to install the game on an Android device is very simple, following several steps:
- We access the Epic Games page.
- We download the Fortnite installer, which is not the game itself. It's a launcher both to install the game battle royale as for other titles like Battle Breakers. To do this, you must give the browser permission to start the download.
- Once in the installer, click on the Fortnite cover and click on "Install."
In this way, we will have two different apps in the application box, one from Epic Games and the other from Fortnite, although to update it every time a new season or improvements in the game arrive, there is nothing to worry about. And it is that through this launcher, it will notify us in the precise moment to update Fortnite on our device. Either it alerts us through a message in the notification bar, or it does so if we try to enter the game.
You must uninstall Fortnite from the Play Store
One of the guidelines that we must follow is that if we have the game installed from the Play Store, we must uninstall it to have Fortnite updated. We uninstall it either from the terminal interface, or from the Google Play menu. Otherwise, we will not enjoy future news, since the version in the store will be obsolete and that is why we must switch to the Epic version.
The same does not happen if it comes from the Galaxy Store or App Gallery of Huawei, since they are independent stores to Google. However, if we do not remember where the installation of the game comes from, we can go to "Settings" → "Applications" → Epic Launcher. In section "Details of the application" The origin of the game will appear, either through an APK or the Play Store.
