📱Incredibly cool to see Droid Tycoon searchable on the App Store, and featured by Fortnite. We worked hard to optimize the experience for mobile, and hope new players can discover the fun of crafting droids from the comfort and convenience of their phone. 🤳🏻

So excited for this, give it a try! If you're a Fortnite Dev working on a live project or a competitive player, it's probably best to stay with the current launcher for now. Check the FAQ for all of the info.
We vibe coded the Epic Games Launcher to be faster than the other guy. Don't believe us? Test it out for yourself in Preview: launcher.epicgames.com

Update: if you're a dev or competitive player, give it a shot!
I could have been more clear. Once you're in game, you're good to go INCLUDING comp (looking at you FNCS and RLCS community). I made the recommendation because the Launcher is in Preview, it won't affect the games at all.

Game studios rejected her. So she built her own Fortnite games. Now @LenaGlitchFN is behind viral Star Wars & KPop Demon Hunters maps. We get into the crazy deadlines, going viral, and moments like this. 😂 🎙️ Full Creative Juice episode is LIVE on YouTube & wherever you listen! 👀
