On Friday, May 18th, Epic Games released a \u2018State of Mobile\u2019 update on their website, which announced that Fortnite will be coming to Android \u2018this summer\u2019 at the time of writing, along with various other changes and plans for mobile in general The full post can be viewed below. Hi all, Since launch, we\u2019ve been working to make the experience better, including a number of quality of life and performance improvements. CUSTOMIZABLE HUD We\u2019ve heard your requests for the ability to customize the HUD and, earlier this week, we added this feature to the game. Try it out and let us know what you think. We\u2019re excited to get this into your hands! Customizable HUD In-game Epic Games Customizable HUD Blueprint VOICE CHAT We know that communication is key when you\u2019re squadding up for that Victory Royale, so we\u2019re working to bring voice chat to mobile. On top of that, you\u2019ll be able to chat with your teammates regardless of platform! We\u2019re also looking to make it really easy to mute yourself, other players, or open up all communications with a simple tap. There will be a button on the screen that lets you mute yourself, mute everyone in your party, or go back to open-microphone. GAMEPLAY AND CONTROLS We\u2019re continuing to work on improvements. Some upcoming examples include improving Autorun and adding better ways to fire. Once we roll out these changes, we\u2019ll add options to the settings so you can try them out and see what works best for you! INSTALLATION SIZE AND UPDATE EXPERIENCE We are aware of the large installation size of Fortnite on mobile and are working to reduce that size. Over the next few updates we\u2019ll be compressing the size down while maintaining performance. We\u2019ll be making overall patch sizes smaller and adding the ability to download the content in the background! ANDROID Fortnite is coming to Android! We are targeting this summer for the release. We know many of you are excited for this release, and we promise that when we have more information to share, you\u2019ll hear it from us first. GAME PERFORMANCE We see some areas where game performance can can be improved. We\u2019re fixing code to optimize the experience (e.g. increase graphic quality), as well as adding a Battery-Saver mode which will allow you increased performance if you choose to lower the graphic quality. It\u2019s our first implementation of this option and we\u2019ll continue to improve upon it. STATS Many of you have asked for stat tracking on mobile. We are working to improve our stats servers so we can handle many more players, including those on mobile. We\u2019re looking to enable this sometime this summer, once we are confident the improvements are performing up to our expectations. STABILITY Finally, stability is still one of our chief concerns. With every update we\u2019re working to fix crashes and other issues as you report them. If you\u2019re regularly running into stability issues, please let us know using the \u201cFeedback\u201d button in-game. Thank you for all of your support and feedback!
