PC and Mac Requirements for Fortnite:
For PCs and Macs, Epic Games requires at least an Intel HD
4000 or Iris Pro 5200 GPU, a Core i3 2.4 GHz CPU, and 4 GB of RAM. The
recommended specs demand more powerful hardware: a NVidia GeForce GTX 660 or
AMD Radeon HD 7870 equivalent DX11 GPU with 2 GB VRAM, a Core i5 2.8 GHz CPU,
and 8 GB of RAM. Fortnite also requires your machine to run at least the
Windows 7 of macOS X Sierra (10.11.6) operating systems. Note that your macOS
device must also support the Metal API.
For reference, Fortnite takes up about 20 GB of disk space.
I tested Fortnite on my Dell Inspiron 5675 gaming PC running Windows 10. My
system features a Ryzen 1700X CPU, Radeon 580 8 GB GPU, and 32 GB of RAM. At
the highest setting and 1080p resolution, the game ran at around 70 frames per
second according to the FRAPS tool.
iPhone and iPad Requirements for Fortnite:
If you want to play Fortnite on an iPhone, make sure your
model is one of the following: SE, 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, or X. If
you want to play Fortnite on iPad, you need one of the following models: mini
4, Air 2, 2017, or Pro. Interested players can download the game from the App
Store or head over to the website for more information. Note that Fortnite does
not work on the iPod touch.
Android Requirements for Fortnite:
Fortnite Arrived on Android a while back, but you needed to
sign up for the beta and be approved before getting access to the game. Epic
Games has since removed that requirement and anyone with a compatible device
can now download and play the game.
Note that Fortnite is bypassing the Google Play Store and is instead available as a download from the developer’s site. Make sure that any app download you initiate comes from a legitimate source, since this workaround exposes your device to potential vulnerabilities.
