Fortnite on Xbox Cloud Gaming is the easiest way to enjoy the game on almost any device. Since the game was removed from the App Store due to the legal feud between Epic Games and Apple, iPhone users have struggled to access it. Moreover, many older laptops and budget PCs can’t run the game smoothly.
Xbox Cloud Gaming fixes this by letting you stream Fortnite directly in your browser, and the best part? It's completely free to use.
On that note, here’s everything you need to know about playing Fortnite on Xbox Cloud Gaming.

- Open the Xbox Cloud Gaming website on your desired browser.
- Sign in using your Microsoft account.
- Search for Fortnite in the library and click on Play.
If you have your Microsoft and Epic Games accounts linked, the title will launch immediately; otherwise, it will redirect you to connect the accounts first. It is necessary for cross-progression. To play on an iPhone, it is recommended to use the default browser, Safari, while PC users are recommended to use Edge for best results.
Downsides

- You need a high-speed and stable internet connection. Slower networks would struggle a lot.
- You might experience input delay often, especially when building structures in the game.
- The game is streamed via browser, so it won't look as sharp as the game on a high-end device.
- Continuous usage on devices like phones or laptops might drain the battery faster than usual.
