Fortnite Mobile For Android May Need To Be Installed Through APK Instead Of Google Play Store

According to reports, the creators of Fortnite may be planning to bypass the Google Play Store and offer the game for download without it.

Hidden details were discovered on an Epic Games’ mobile web page with instructions how to install the game on your device through a browser outside of the Play Store.

It has been reported that Fortnite earns $2 million a day through Apple’s App Store, although Apple takes 30 percent due to its closed ecosystem. Because Android is open sourced, the creators may have decided to bypass giving Google their 30 percent of the sales by offering Fortnite outside of the Play Store. That’s potentially six hundred thousand dollars saved every day!

Its surprising that Epic hasn’t approached Google regarding a lower percentage in return for not bypassing the Play Store, although there is still time for such an agreement. Fornite for Androidis expected to be released late September following a 30 day exclusivity deal with Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9.
