Fortnite is officially returning to the Google Play Store globally on March 19, following a long-running dispute between Epic Games and Google. The comeback coincides with the launch of the game’s next season, marking the first time in years that Android users worldwide can download Fortnite directly from the Play Store again. Fortnite was originally removed in 2020 after Epic bypassed Google’s in-app payment system to avoid the platform’s standard commission. Fortnite had already returned to the Play Store in the US late last year, but this marks its full global rollout on Android devices. The game’s return also aligns with several updates, including a price adjustment for V-Bucks and plans to make Fortnite’s “Save the World” mode free-to-play starting April. For players, the biggest impact is straightforward: no more sideloading or workarounds, Fortnite is back where most Android users expect it to be. Nintendo is also expected to share updates on previously announced games such as Star Fox, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem Shadows. It includes major franchise returns, new game reveals and release date updates.
