After 18 months of availability on Android phones, Fortnite will finally be available to download via Google's own Play store.
The decision to release the battle royale via Android's standard shopfront brings an end to the long-running stalemate between Epic and the platform holder, which all boils down to money.
On Android, Fortnite launched outside of the Google Play store and in so doing dodged Google's standard 30 per cent cut of transactions made on the platform. In a 2018 interview with Digital Foundry, Epic boss Tim Sweeney suggested this was because that 30 per cent did not reflect Google's input into the creation and ongoing development of the game.
