Handheld consoles do not have cellular connection features, so they need to get a hotspot from mobile devices and cloud gaming. Despite being on Android, they only host the game for players.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe srcdoc=\"\n\n<style>html,body{overflow:hidden;height:100%;background:#000;}<\/style>\n<p>&#8221; loading=&#8221;lazy&#8221; width=&#8221;200&#8243; height=&#8221;113&#8243; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2NPCnWamGr4?feature=oembed&#8221; frameborder=&#8221;0&#8243; allow=&#8221;accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share&#8221; referrerpolicy=&#8221;strict-origin-when-cross-origin&#8221; allowfullscreen=&#8221;&#8221; title=&#8221;Fortnite is back on Google Play. 3.19.26: https:\/\/fn.gg\/play-store&#8221;><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Here&#8217;s What to Expect from &#8216;Fortnite&#8217; for Android<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to Epic Games, &#8220;Fortnite&#8221; for Android will be available on the Google Play Store beginning on March 19.
