Fortnite was released worldwide on July 25, 2017 – except in China. Fortnite is a co-op survival game developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games.
However, the game only gained popularity after the Battle Royale mode was introduced. The standalone mode based on the Battle Royale genre was released on September 26, 2017. The hit game is now available on all different platforms. It is available for free download and offers various in-app purchases - Epic Games was able to make over 3 billion US dollars in profit in 2018 with this sales model.
console-like gaming experience
However, the best gaming experience on mobile devices is only offered on certain iPhones. About two weeks ago, an update increased the refresh rate to a whopping 60 fps (frames per second).
According to Epic Games, this only works on Apple devices with an A12 Bionic chip. In this case, this includes the iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone Xr. The current iPad Pro generation also supports the new feature. This is the same code as in the XBox One version - Epic Games told Eurogamers. Anyone who wants to try out the new function can adjust this via the settings. The slightly unpleasant side effect is reduced battery life and a warmer iPhone.
