Table of Contents
Epic Games has shaken up the mobile gaming world with a major move: as of 20 January 2026, the Epic Games App is officially available worldwide on Google Play Store. Now, you can chat with your Fortnite friends and keep your account secure—no more hassle with external APK files.
Here are the key details of this update and a comparison of the two Epic Games mobile experiences:
Two Apps, Two Unique Experiences
Epic Games now offers Android users two different options. Check out the table below to see which app fits your needs best:
| Feature | Epic Games App (Google Play) | Epic Games Store Mobile (Web) |
| Main Focus | Social features & Security | Game store & Play |
| 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 (Download Fortnite, Fall Guys, etc.) |
| Where to Download? | Google Play Store & Apple App Store | epicgames.com (Android) / iOS in EU |
What's New?
1. Cross-Platform Text Chat
The chat feature, first launched for iOS in December, is now live on Android too. Whether you're on Fortnite, the PC client, or the mobile app, you can start group chats with friends and access your chat history across all your devices.
2. Epic Authenticator (2FA)
You no longer need third-party apps (like Google Authenticator) to secure your account. With the Epic Games app downloaded from Google Play, you can now manage two-factor authentication (2FA) directly.
How to Download?
-
For Social Features: Open your device's app store (Google Play or App Store), search for "Epic Games" and install the official app in seconds.
-
To Play Games: If you want to play Fortnite or Fall Guys, visit epicgames.com from your Android browser and download the Epic Games Store app as an APK.
