Following a near six-year hiatus, Fortnite for Android is officially returning to the Google Play Store later this week following the conclusion of the long-running Google vs Epic Games court case.
In a post on Twitter/X as well as a video posted to YouTube, Epic Games says that “Fortnite is back on Google Play” as of March 19, 2026. That’s this coming Thursday.
But, Fortnite first reappeared in the Play Store all the way back in December, didn’t it?
It’s unclear exactly what Epic is saying here, but it sounds like perhaps Fortnite’s previous return to Google Play in December wasn’t “everywhere,” and that’s what’s changing this week. As it stands today, at least in the US, you can go download Fortnite from the Play Store right now. But if you can’t, that should change in a few days.
