Epic Games intended to make "Fortnite Battle Royale for iPhone and iPad as close to the version played on other platforms. In its invitation-only initial release, the large-scale multiplayer game hasn't lost its charm in its transition to the small screen from the console, Mac, and PC versions.

"Fortnite" was originally developed as a co-op sandbox survival game that based itself around the concept of fort construction. Set in a world ravaged by a storm that causes most of the world's population to disappear, players work together to collect resources to build defensive structures to defend themselves from the meteorological phenomena and waves of attacking creatures.
