The ongoing row betweenEpic Games and Apple continues, with Apple’s blocking of Fortnite updates and downloads from its App Store meaning the newly-releasedChapter 2 - Season 4cannot be played on iPad, iPhone, iPod touch or Mac.
So, while Season 4 was released yesterday, Thursday 27 August, to much acclaim, iOS users cannot play it on their devices.
However, there is one way to play it on the Mac, which we explain below, plus Andoid. And, although Season 4 isn’t available, you’re able to still play Fortnite on your iOS device, even if you’ve deleted it in the past. We explain all.
How to play Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 4 on Mac
While you may no longer get Fortnite on the macOS App Store (unless you already have it installed), there is a way to play the game with the very latest update pre-installed - throughNvidia GeForce Now.
The free-to-play game is available on GeForce Now and Nvidia’s cloud gaming platform is available on Mac. What’s more, the service has a free membership plan, so you don’t have to pay a penny.
Once installed and signed up, you’re able to download Fortnite to Nvidia’s remote server through the GeForce Now client and play the game over the cloud. Connect a PlayStation DualShock 4, Xbox One, or another wireless or wired controller and away you go.
Although you cannot have the latest update, you can still play Fortnite on an iOS device if you downloaded it in the past, even if you have since deleted it.
If you have it installed already, you can continue to play Chapter 2 - Season 3 (v13.40).
