'Fortnite' Can Now Run At 90 FPS On Samsung Galaxy Tab S7

With the recent issues plaguing “Fortnite” in Epic Games’ ongoing legal battle with Apple, Samsung is reminding everyone that the popular battle royale game can still be played at high frame rates on its mobile devices.

Gamers who want to play “Fortnite” on the Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+ will be able to do so at 90 FPS by either updating the game or downloading the latest version from the Samsung Galaxy Store, Engadget first reported.

The 90 FPS frame rate means much smoother gameplay on “Fortnite” than it would be at lower frame rates, something that hardcore fans of “Fortnite” on mobile devices might otherwise not have access to considering what has gone down for the past two months between developer Epic Games and Apple.

After Epic Games implemented a way for players to purchase “Fortnite” in-game currency V-Bucks, effectively bypassing Apple’s payment system, Apple removed the game from the App Store.

The removal of the 30% that Apple has been charging gamers meant Epic Games could offer V-Bucks at a lower rate for “Fortnite” players. That also meant Apple was being eliminated from the transaction, something that Tim Cook’s firm did not appreciate.

What has followed has been a series of legal moves and countermoves, online trolling, and posturing as both sides have taken their case to court, with Unreal Engine, Google, and Microsoft taking one side or another. Google has also removed “Fortnite” from Google Play and has also been sued by Epic Games for it.

The most recent development on the legal front saw Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruling that she won’t force Apple to reinstate “Fortnite.”

With the actions made by Apple and Google, Samsung has perhaps coincidentally unlocked 90 FPS gameplay on its tablets to point out that it is indeed the only mobile app store that offers “Fortnite” in the U.S.

Since Epic Games is embroiled in the aforesaid issues with Apple and Google, what Samsung’s Galaxy Store is providing is an alternative way to keep growing the mobile user base of “Fortnite” in the U.S. until some kind of resolution is reached.

Part of the mainstream appeal of “Fortnite” has been its availability on so many platforms and with this move by Samsung, Epic Games is ensuring that it maintains a presence on mobile devices on top of being there on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
