Players have been asking and asking for a Fortnite Android beta release date to be officially confirmed, and now big boss Tim Sweeney has delivered. Revealed during the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 announcement live stream, Sweeney not only revealed when the Fortnite Android beta release date is, but also an added bonus for owners of Samsung devices.

These are the Samsung devices that support the beta:
- Samsung Galaxy: S7 / S7 Edge , S8 / S8+, S9 / S9+, Note 8, Note 9, Tab S3, Tab S4
If you plan on picking up a Samsung Note 9 or Galaxy Tab S4, you’ll receive a bonus in-game new Galaxy skin.
