Fortnite Battle Royale's aimed its sights at new targets: iPhones, iPads and Android devices. Here's how to get in on the beta.

Fortnite Battle Royale, the free-to-play mode for the ultra-popular multiplayer game, is getting air-dropped into your phone. As of yesterday (Apr. 2) anyone with an iOS device can get in on the fun, without using the beta program.

Even better, the team states that "Fortnite Battle Royale [on mobile] will support Cross Play and Cross Progression between PlayStation 4, PC, Mac, iOS and eventually Android," so gaming on your phone or tablet will be just as fun as anywhere else. The team minced no words by staking this claim, saying "The same game on all platforms. Console quality graphics and action. Play when you want, where you want."
