Epic Games App Now Available on Google Play!
Epic Games launched its main app on Google Play on January 20, 2026.
Table of Contents
Epic Games has made a game-changing move in the mobile gaming world by launching the Epic Games App globally on the Google Play Store as of January 20, 2026. Now, you no longer need to deal with external APK files to message your Fortnite friends or keep your account secure.
Here are the key details of this major update and the differences between the two apps:
Two Apps, Two Unique Experiences
Epic Games now offers Android users two different options. Check out the table below to decide which app suits your needs best:
| Feature | Epic Games App (Google Play) | Epic Games Store Mobile (Web) |
| Main Focus | Social Interaction and Security | Game Store and Gameplay |
| Messaging | Cross-platform text chat (DM & Group) | Cross-platform text chat |
| Security | 2FA (Epic Authenticator) support | 2FA (Epic Authenticator) support |
| Game Download | No (Social/Security only) | Yes (Downloadable: Fortnite, Fall Guys, etc.) |
| Where to Download? | Google Play Store & Apple App Store | epicgames.com (Android) / iOS in EU |
Highlight Features
1. Cross-Platform Text Chat
The chat feature, released for iOS in December, is now available on Android too. Whether you’re on Fortnite, the PC client, or the mobile app, you can create group chats with friends and access your message history across all your devices.
2. Epic Authenticator (2FA)
You no longer need third-party apps (like Google Authenticator) to keep your account secure. With the Epic Games app downloaded directly from Google Play, you can now manage two-factor authentication (2FA) within the app.
How to Download?
-
For Social Features: Go to your phone’s app store (Google Play or App Store), search for "Epic Games", and install the official app in seconds.
-
For Playing Games: If you want to play Fortnite or Fall Guys, you’ll need to visit epicgames.com from your Android browser and download the Epic Games Store app as an APK.
