How to Install Fortnite Mobile on Samsung Galaxy
If Galaxy Apps: As previously mentioned, Fortnite for Android is not available through the Google Play Store. Epic doesn't want to fork over 30% of all net profits. Instead, you'll have to use the Galaxy Apps Store that is pre-installed on your Samsung device. It works essentially the same as the Play Store.
