Fortnite' Arrives This GFN Thursday With GeForce Performance You Can Touch

Fortnite on GeForce NOW with touch controls on mobile is now available to all members, streaming through the Safari web browser on iOS and the GeForce NOW Android app.

The full launch - including the removal of the waitlist - follows a successful beta period in which more than 500,000 participants streamed over 4 million sessions to hundreds of mobile device types.

The closed beta gave the GeForce NOW team the opportunity to test and learn, which resulted in optimized on-screen touch controls and game menus, with gameplay that feels intuitive. The end result is a touch experience for gamers to enjoy.

We're thanking the beta participants, whose millions of streamed sessions made these improvements possible, with a three-day Priority membership - or three-day extension for existing RTX 3080 and Priority members. See below for details.
