Fortnite

What it is

Fortnite comes from Epic Games, Inc. On Google Play it is filed under Action, has been listed since Apr 20, 2020, and it is free to download. Short description: Battle royale, PvP, social games and more. Compete solo or play with friends.

What the ratings show

530,660 Google Play users have rated Fortnite, and the average lands at 4.61. Breaking that down: 84.2% gave five stars, 6.2% four, 2.3% three, 1.2% two and 6.1% one. That is a lopsided curve in the good direction, with the bulk of people at the top.

Put differently, there are about 14 five star ratings for every one star rating, 446,737 against 32,334. The middle of the scale, two and three stars together, holds 3.5% of ratings (18,453 people). The listing shows 10,000,000+ installs, so the 530,660 ratings come from a slice of the people who installed it.

The practical details

The listing shows last updated Oct 16, 2026, version 42.40.0-59343437-Android, Android 8.0 or newer, a content rating of Teen and first released Apr 20, 2020. The Play page carries 15 screenshots and a promo video, and the written description runs to about 413 words. Google Play labels it as one that offers in-app purchases. There is no upfront price.

What the developer promises

The description says: “There is always something new for you and your friends in Fortnite”. In the developer’s words, “Be the last player standing in Battle Royale”. It also states that “Headline a concert in Fortnite Festival”. Another line from the listing: “Explore the worlds of LEGO Fortnite”.

The listing goes on to say “Play thousands of free developer-made, multiplayer action games like tycoons, deathruns, zombie survival, and more”. One more point the description makes: “There’s always something new for you and your friends”. The description says: “In between action-packed games, stop by the Shop to get an Outfit, Back Bling, or Emote”. All of this comes from the store listing, so treat it as the developer’s pitch rather than a hands-on verdict.

Who should try it

Anyone who already likes action games, and who is comfortable with a free-to-play model that offers in-app purchases. If action is not your thing, the star average will not change that. The listed content rating is Teen.

What to watch for

The listing says it offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, 6.1% of raters left one star, enough that the complaints are easy to find.
