The last step requires you to launch the new app and select Fortnite in it. You can also link your existing Epic Games account through the app as the game supports cross-progression.

It should be noted that the free tier of GeForce Now generally has a queue. This means that you will sometimes have to wait up to 30 minutes to get into a game, with each gaming session limited to a single hour.

On the other hand, paid tiers have no waiting queues and will allow you to play Fortnite on an iPhone or iPad whenever you want. Both the paid tiers offer longer gaming sessions as well as Nvidia's RTX technology, which makes the game look even more amazing on your Apple devices.
