Until now, iPhone users had no official way to play the updated version of the game and keep up with its in-app events.
However, thanks to NVIDIA GeForce Now, iOS users will yet again be able to play Fortnite on their devices though Safari.
In a blog post, NVIDIA announced that GeForce Now users will be able to sign up for the closed beta starting today, with Fortnite availability to follow next week.
Android users don’t have to depend on a web browser to play Fortnite through NVIDIA’s cloud gaming platform.
That’s not the case on iOS because Apple forces game streaming developers to upload all listed titles to the App Store and go through the reviewing process.
Streaming games are permitted so long as they adhere to all guidelines – for example, each game update must be submitted for review, developers must provide appropriate metadata for search, games must use in-app purchase to unlock features or functionality, etc.
