The insanely popular battle-royale open arena survival game, Fortnite, will soon be available to play on mobile devices.

This means someone accessing the game from a computer, Playstation, or Xbox will be able to enter games with mobile players Apk Ticket. Which may be more than a little interesting, to say the least.
