Yes, technically Samsung does have an exclusive for Fortniteon Android, but gamers, don't fear: This might be the shortest exclusive ever.
It lasts just three days. Yep, Samsung Galaxy devices will be the only Android devices that can play Fortnite... until Aug. 12. After that, all eligible Android devices will be able to sign up and play.

Android users have been waiting for a while; iOS, macOS, PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One users can already play.
It seems the team at Epic Games has been fine-tuning the experience and likely increasing servers to handle the expected demand from Android users. Surprisingly, Fortnitewill not be available in the Google Play store; instead, it will be side-loaded and installed in a slightly indirect way.
I think the strangest thing about this exclusive is that it won't even last long enough for Galaxy Note 9 owners to take advantage of it. Samsung's latest smartphone won't land until Aug. 24, long after this exclusive runs dry.
Even so, those who order a Note 9 by Aug. 23 can choose between a free pair of AKG headphones or 15,000 V-Bucks — Fortnite's in-game currency — as a perk of their new purchase. Customers who want both can get just that for $99. All owners of the Note 9 and the equally as new Tab S4, will get a FortniteGalaxy Skin.
Fortnitefor Android will support multiplayer with iOS, macOS, PC, Nintendo Switch, and the Xbox One. It will not support the PS4, which should be a surprise to no one since that platform doesn't support cross-play in general.
Epic Games will be supporting Fortniteon a relatively significant amount of Android devices at launch. Minimum specs for the game appear to be Android 5.0 or newer (running on 64-bit architecture), 3GB of RAM, and either Adreno 530 graphics (or higher) or Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 graphics (or higher).
Phones that qualify include:
Samsung Galaxy: S7 / S7 Edge, S8 / S8+, S9 / S9+, Note 8, Note 9, Tab S3, Tab S4
Google: Pixel / Pixel XL, Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL
Asus: ROG Phone, Zenfone 4 Pro, 5Z, V
Essential: PH-1
Huawei: Honor 10, Honor Play, Mate 10 / Pro, Mate RS, Nova 3, P20 / Pro, V10
LG: G5, G6, G7 ThinQ, V20, V30 / V30+
Nokia: 8 OnePlus: 5 / 5T, 6
