Games like Fortnite

Fortnite is made by Epic Games and launched in 2017. Its Battle Royale drops up to 100 players on an island, and Fortnite Creative lets players build their own islands. If you want a different drop, a different pace or a game for an older phone, try these.

Battle royale games like Fortnite

Apex Legends. Respawn's free 2019 battle royale for PC and consoles. Squads of three, heroes with abilities and very fast movement.
PUBG Mobile. Krafton's phone version of PUBG. 100 players, a large map and slower, more realistic fights than Fortnite.
Garena Free Fire. Garena's phone battle royale for about 50 players, with short matches. It runs well on cheaper phones.
Call of Duty: Warzone. Activision's free battle royale on PC and consoles with Call of Duty guns and a respawn system called the Gulag.
The Finals. Embark Studios' free 2023 team shooter for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, where whole buildings can be brought down. Close to Fortnite's chaos without the building.
Fall Guys. Also owned by Epic. A party battle royale of obstacle rounds, with no guns at all.

Fortnite on mobile

Fortnite came back to the US App Store in May 2025 after years away, and on Android it is available through the Epic Games Store app. If your phone struggles with it, Free Fire is the usual swap because it was made for lower-end devices.

Smaller battle royales also work well on a phone: fewer players, a smaller map and a match that ends in a few minutes.

What Fortnite fans usually want next

Building is the part no other big battle royale copies, so most players pick by feel instead. Want speed and abilities? Apex. Want realism? PUBG Mobile. Want short matches on a phone? Free Fire. Want to make your own island with your rules? That is the Creative side of Fortnite, and it is also what Roam does on a phone: describe the match and play it.
