Play Fortnite on an iPhone using GeForce Now

The last streaming service you can rely on to get Fortnite going on your iPhone is Nvidia's GeForce Now. Unlike Luna, this service allows you to stream a free-to-play game like Fortnite without subscribing to its service but does limit you to one hour at a time. If you plan on doing a marathon run of games, you will need to upgrade to the Premium subscription.

Step 1: Go to the Fortnite page on GeForce Now.

Step 2: Log in to your free or paid Nvida account.

Step 3: Hit Play and you will be launched into the game.
