Fortnite has genuinely become a cross-platform game, and users on a host of devices can play against each other. The title’s recent expansion to mobile devices has made it easier for players to keep up. This step is hugely beneficial in situations when Fortnite players do not have access to their primary setup.
Such a situation might arise when they need to travel, or have to send the device for repair. Players can then easily log in to their Fortnite account on another platform and collect the login and other rewards. Of course, to play matches against people using a different platform, you need to know how to enable cross-platform play in Fortnite.
Enabling Fortnite cross-platform gaming
The game only allows cross-platform play against people who are in your friend list. This is important; otherwise, people using a console or PC can easily enter a mobile lobby and win the game.
