How to play Fortnite on Mac

Players are wondering if they can play Fortnite on Mac, dive into one of the most popular games, and enjoy the array of features and collaborations. Since Macs are not typically known for their gaming prowess, players often wonder how they can play games.

Here's how you can play Fortnite on Mac.

Guide to play Fortnite on Mac

Unlike Windows players or those running the game on consoles or handheld devices, you must employ cloud gaming to play Fortnite on Mac. Cloud gaming is a unique way to play games by streaming them over the internet from remote servers, rather than running them locally using the downloaded or installed files. They provide a similar gaming experience to non-native players as well.

Mac users can play Fortnite using Xbox Cloud Gaming, Nvidia GeForce NOW, or Amazon Luna. These three services will easily allow players to dive into the game without being limited by the device's architecture, which isn't particularly friendly for gaming.

Here are all the methods to play Fortnite on Mac:

1) GeForce NOW
