Fortnite Battle Royale is heading to mobile devices very soon, features PS4 and PC cross-play

Epic has announced that Fortnite Battle Royale will be heading to iOS and Android mobile devices, with iOS users able to sign up for action from next week.

Android and iOS players will be able to enjoy the full Fortnite 100-player Battle Royale experience, says Epic, featuring the "same gameplay, same map, same content, same weekly updates" seen on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions. The game will arrive on Android "in the next few months", while roll-out begins on iOS from Monday, March 12th.

Fortnite on mobile will support cross-play and cross-progression "in partnership with our friends at Sony". This means that PlayStation 4, PC, Mac, iOS, and eventually Android, users will all be able to team up and play together. Xbox One players are notably excluded from the cross-play fun, however. Microsoft, of course, struck its own last-man-standing exclusivity deal with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds last year.
