What this means for you
Starting on January 30, Fortnite will be classified as an 18+ game on iOS and Google Play. This means that if you’re under 18, you won’t be able to download or play the game.
If you’re already playing Fortnite on your iOS or Android device, you’ll be able to continue playing until January 30. After that, you’ll need to be 18+ to play.

Fortnite on iOS and Google Play will be 18+ starting on January 30
Epic Games has announced that it will be making some changes to Fortnite’s rating on iOS and Google Play, effective January 30. The game will now be rated 18+, up from its current 12+ rating. This change is being made in response to “growing concerns” from players and parents about the game’s content.
In a statement, Epic said: “We want to be honest with our players and parents about the types of content our games will feature. While Fortnite is mainly a cooperative game, it can also be competitive. We feel it’s important to communicate the game’s rating to as many people as possible.”
The change will only affect the game’s rating on iOS and Google Play. Fortnite will still be rated T for Teen by the ESRB on all other platforms.
Epic also announced that it will be releasing a new “parental controls” suite for Fortnite on all platforms. This will allow parents to set spending limits, control chat settings, and more. For more information, you can check out Epic’s blog post.
Fortnite on iOS and Google Play will be 18+ starting on January 30
Epic Games has announced that it will be changing the age rating for Fortnite on iOS and Google Play from 13+ to 18+ from January 30. The decision has been made in light of the game’s “core experience.”
“We recognise that Fortnite is not appropriate for children and we strongly encourage parents to limit the time and amount of contact their children have with the game,” the company said in a blog post.
In order to ensure that Fortnite is only played by those who are old enough to understand its complex mechanics and multi-layered content, Epic Games will be introducing a new age-gate on both iOS and Google Play.
Players who are under the age of 18 will be unable to log in to Fortnite on iOS and Google Play from January 30. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child is using Fortnite on one of these platforms, please contact us.
The age-gate will not be applied to Fortnite on other platforms, such as PC, Mac, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch. However, we strongly encourage parents to monitor their children’s Fortnite play time and habits on all platforms.
