Epic Games partners with Telefonica to make Fortnite more accessible

Playing Fortnite Mobile has been a bit of a hassle for many with external downloads from the official website and while it isn’t hat complex, it does take a little bit more time compared to a direct download from the Google Play Store. Thankfully, Epics Games have now planned to make the process simple, at least for gamers in the European Union countries.

A recent deal between Epic Games and Telefónica, a European telecommunications company, has resulted in pre-install of the Epic Games Store app on android devices across multiple countries with Telefónica customers. These include, the UK, Germany, Spain and Spanish-speaking Latin American countries.

“Players will now be able to more easily download Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe as well as third party games in the future. This is just the beginning, and over the next year the companies plan to expand the partnership and bring more benefits to mobile players across the Telefónica network,” Epic Games said in their statement.
