Fortnite Mobile Touch Experience on GeForce NOW

Fortnite on GeForce NOW with touch controls on mobile is now available to all members, streaming through the Safari web browser on iOS and the GeForce NOW Android app.

The full launch — including the removal of the waitlist — follows a successful beta period in which more than 500,000 participants streamed over 4 million sessions to hundreds of mobile device types.

The closed beta  gave the GeForce NOW team the opportunity to test and learn, which resulted in optimized on-screen touch controls and game menus, with gameplay that feels intuitive. The end result is a touch experience for gamers to enjoy.

We’re thanking the beta participants, whose millions of streamed sessions made these improvements possible, with a three-day Priority membership — or three-day extension for existing RTX 3080 and Priority members. See below for details.

Streaming ‘Fortnite’ on GeForce NOW

GeForce NOW provides millions of gamers the opportunity to stream their favorite PC games — like Fortnite — to nearly any device. Games render on PCs in the cloud with high-performance NVIDIA GPUs and deliver gameplay back to those devices in a fraction of a second.

Getting started is easy. Visit the GeForce NOW membership page and choose from one of three levels of performance, including a Free membership option. RTX 3080 and Priority members get an upgraded experience with higher quality graphics, faster access to servers and more features. After signing up, download native GeForce NOW game streaming apps for PC, Mac, Android or TV, or start streaming right away from play.geforcenow.com.

Members can link their Epic Games account from the Settings > Connections menu to automatically sign in to Fortnite upon game launch.

Touch on GeForce NOW
Get in touch with your inner Battle Royale champion playing Fortnite across mobile devices.

With the addition of touch controls, Fortnite mobile players get GeForce performance they can touch. RTX 3080 members stream improved graphics that render at up to 120 frames per second on select 120Hz Android devices and can play with millions of other Fortnite players around the world.

GeForce NOW manages patches and game updates for members. As new seasons arrive or a new mode drops, members are always game ready. When no-build Battle Royale arrived in Fortnite with the launch of Fortnite Zero Build, GeForce NOW members were able to play right away.

A Three-Day Thank You to Beta Participants

As a thank you to members who helped improve Fortnite mobile touch controls during the closed beta period, participants can redeem a three-day Priority membership to GeForce NOW. Priority members get higher performance, access to premium servers and extended six-hour session lengths, for an upgraded gaming experience.

Members redeem the free promotional membership — or extension of their existing Founders, Priority or RTX 3080 membership — by logging into the redemption portal and following the instructions to activate. Beta participants will also receive an email in the coming days with additional details.

Evil Dead: The Game on GeForce NOW

Good. Bad. You’re the Guy With the Gun this GFN Thursday.

Get ready for some horrifyingly good fun with Evil Dead: The Game streaming on GeForce NOW tomorrow at release. It’s the 1,300th game to join GeForce NOW, joining on Friday the 13th.

And it’s part of eight total games joining the GeForce NOW library this week.

Hail to the King, Baby

Step into the shoes of Ash Williams and friends from the iconic Evil Dead franchise in Evil Dead: The Game (Epic Games Store), streaming on GeForce NOW at release tomorrow.

Work together in a game loaded with over-the-top co-op and PvP action across nearly all your devices. Grab your boomsticks, chainsaws and cleavers to fight against the armies of darkness, even on a Mac. Or take control of the Kandarian Demon to hunt the heroes by possessing Deadites, the environment and even the survivors themselves with a mobile phone.

For RTX 3080 members, the horror comes to life with realistic visuals and a physics-based gore system, enhanced by NVIDIA DLSS – the groundbreaking AI rendering technology that increases graphics performance by boosting frame rates and generating beautiful, sharp images.

Plus, everything is better in 4K. Whether you’re tearing a Deadite in two with Ash’s chainsaw hand or flying through the map as the Kandarian Demon, RTX 3080 members playing from the PC and Mac apps can bring the bloodshed in all its glory, streaming at up to 4K resolution and 60 frames per second.
