Fortnite will bypass Google Play, Epic confirms

Fortnite Battle Royale Android

Epic today confirmed what we all suspected – that Fortnite will not be made available on Google Play.

Instead, you’ll have to go and grab it from the official site.

Epic claims that there are two reasons for this. The first is that it wants a direct relationship with its customers.

Epic doesn’t want to pay the 30% store tax to put Fortnite on Google Play

It doesn’t want some middleman getting in the way of delivering the product that it wants to deliver.

We reckon that’s just marketing guff to get you onside for the second reason: Epic doesn’t want to pay that 30% store tax.

Either way, it’s probably no big deal to us Android folk – we’re always tweaking things here and there to play the best games.

But we want to know how you guys feel? Do you mind Fortnite skipping Google Play? Do you care either way? Let us know in the comments.
