Yes, it is possible to play Fortnite on your Chromebook using a few different methods, but all the ways you can play Fortnite do involve a bit of effort. Let's get into it as we show you how to play Fortnite on Chromebook using Geforce now.

Has your school provided you with a Chromebook, feeling like a cheeky monkey, and you want something to do in history class? Well, don't miss a second of Fortnite Season 8 and play Fortnite on your Chromebook!

We will start with the easiest option: go buy a PC! Okay, jokes aside, if you are here, we assume you are gaming on a budget, so let's look at the easiest way to play Fortnite on a Chromebook.

First up, GeForce NOW.

Play Fortnite on Chromebook with GeForce NOW

You will now need to create a Nivida account to access GeForce Now.
You will also need to create an Epic Games account to download Fortnite.
Download Fortnite from the Epic Games Store by searching and hitting that Get button! No worries, because Fortnite is free to play.
Sign in to your Nivida account and navigate to the GeForce Now page and search for Fortnite in the GeForce library and add it to your game list. Click the play button after it is added.
After a few seconds, a cloud rig will be assigned to you. Now, click on the Continue button to launch Fortnite.
You will likely need to sign in to your Epic Games account which should appear on the screen when you try to access Fortnite on GeForce Now, simply sign in and Fortnite will load.
You will now have exactly 1-hour of free playtime with GeForce Now.

This is by far the simplest way to play Fortnite on your Chromebook and really the way you should be doing it. So, what is the catch, you might be asking yourself because that was way too easy! Well, GeForce Now is free, but you can only play for 1-hour before you need to repeat the session launch steps. Therefore, you need to carefully time your matches of Fornite because once the GeForce timer hits zero, it will kick you off the server. Keep in mind, you can simply log out of your GeForce Now account and restart the session to refresh your play session if you want to play longer.

GeForce Now does have a limited number of server spots, so you could encounter a wait time during peak hours. The only way to fix this is to pay for a GeForce Now sub. So, you could always drop the $100 and sign up for one year of unlimited access to GeForce Now, but that is a steep price to pay... to play Fortnite on your Chromebook.

There are other ways to play Fortnite on your Chromebook, but it takes a lot more effort and is very unstable and quite annoying, but if you like pain and suffering, then look up how to sideload android apps on a Chromebook and this would also eventually get you to Fortnite. However, we highly recommend the GeForce Now method.

Here are the Fortnite Minimum & Recommended System Requirements, so you can see if your Chromebook is up to the task of running Fortnite.
