How to play Fortnite for free with GeForce NOW?
To play Fortnite for free with GeForce NOW , we must follow these steps:
- Create a Fortnite/Epic Games account. We can do this from the game’s website . If we already have one, we move on to the next step directly.
- We created an account on GeForce NOW. There are three types of subscriptions: free, priority and RTX 3080 ( here they explain the differences). The free account is enough for us.
- We log in with our NVIDIA account in the GeForce NOW app or in a browser on a compatible device (Windows PC, macOS, Android, Android TV or LG TV have their own app, while for iPhone and iPad we need to log in through the Safari browser; we can also use the Chrome and Edge browsers on PC and Android).
- We log in with our Fortnite/Epic Games account.
And that’s it; that’s the whole process. Since Epic Games allows cross-platform progress through Fortnite accounts, all the skins and other cosmetic items that we have purchased on our in-game account will be available when we play via GeForce NOW .
Our colleague Fran Serrano mentioned in his review that “ the gaming experience with touch controls is good on a 5G network with 70 Mbps.” He also comments that free and priority accounts have a connection limit of one and six consecutive hours, respectively. That is, the system “throws us out” after that game time, but we can reconnect immediately without problems. However, this can be very annoying if we are in the middle of a game, so we have to manage our game time well.

Here is the list of NVIDIA GeForce NOW compatible devices on which we can play Fortnite:
