Fortnite Returns to Google Play Worldwide on March 19

The relisting follows a settlement that reshaped Play Store fees.

Overview

  • The global Play Store release lands March 19 to coincide with Chapter 7 Season 2.
  • Google’s in‑app payment cut drops to 10–20% in many cases with a separate 5% fee for Google payments set to arrive later this year.
  • After a limited U.S. relisting in December and a January launch of the Epic Games app worldwide, Android users can now install via Google Play with automatic updates.
  • Epic will adjust V‑Bucks packs on March 19 so common bundles deliver fewer V‑Bucks for the same price, such as 1,000 packs dropping to 800.
  • Players migrating from the Epic Games app should see progress, skins, and V‑Bucks carry over when installing from Google Play.
