Fortnite’s beta is now available on iOS and Android. As with
any mobile port, Epic Games made some concessions for the sake of performance
and the form factor, some of which affect gameplay
For example, it’s more difficult to control your character
without a keyboard or controller. The touch controls work fine, but more
advanced mechanics like construction can feel tedious. At the very least, make
sure to actually read the tutorial screens, so you aren’t left fumbling with
the controls at critical moments.
Also, Fortnite’s mobile version doesn’t translate well to a smaller screen size. Despite the more pixel-dense resolutions of phones and tablets, textures look dull, and objects clearly lack detail. Adjusting the graphics presets in the options menu helps only somewhat. The other problem with smaller screen sizes is that in-game menus are much more difficult to read and navigate.
