Whether you are looking to jump back onto the Battle Bus or score gravity-defying goals in rocket-powered cars, here is everything you need to know about this exciting launch.
Jump Into the New “Fortnite Showdown” Season There has never been a better time to play Fortnite on mobile. The latest Battle Royale Season, Fortnite Showdown, is now live and packed with competitive energy.

Unlock the Exclusive Yeddy Outfit To celebrate the return to mobile, Epic is offering a special incentive for players. By downloading Fortnite on any mobile device and inviting a friend to join the fun, you will automatically earn the brand-new Yeddy Outfit. This exclusive skin is a great way to refresh your locker and show off your mobile status.
