Fortnite On iPhone Suddenly Stops Working For Many Users
Fortnite was removed from the iPhone and iPad around five years ago and has only just returned — and not in every country. But a new update that's just been released seems to be crashing iPhones running the iOS 26 developer beta. Fortnite Blitz Royale The new version of Fortnite, called Blitz Royale, was released on June 18, and it is one of the first major updates to the game since it returned to the Apple App Store in the U.S. in May 2025. However, as spotted by Zac Hall at 9to5Mac, the new release 'includes an all-new mobile-targeted version of the game called Blitz Royale. Unfortunately, Fortnite also crashes instantly on iOS 26 beta,' it says. It doesn't look like this is the fault of the iOS beta, which you might have expected given that it's an early beta aimed at developers. But before the latest update, Fortnite was working, both on iPhone and iPad on iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. Gamers have been taking to social media to emphatically say that it was working fine before the new Blitz Royale update. The problem is there's no way not to install the new update because Fortnite needs the latest version of the app to be universally installed so everyone is on the same version of the online multiplayer game. It's worth noting that if you are on iOS 18, the new version of the game should be working fine. The new update is targeted at mobile devices, that is, phones and tablets. Blitz Royale is described by Epic Games as a 32-player battle royale mode. 'The best part? Victory can be yours in five minutes or less — perfect for playing on your phone,' according to the game maker. 'Hopefully Epic Games didn't intentionally disable support for iOS 26 and the issue can be resolved soon. For now, the only option is to either downgrade from iOS 26 to iOS 18 or wait for an update to the Fortnite app,' Hall goes on. Assuming this was not a deliberate move to disable the game, and that doesn't seem logical to me, it's likely that Epic is working to fix the problem now, though as yet there's been no acknowledgement of the issue.

Andrew Webster Yet another new Fortnite mode. Just a day after announcing the speedy Blitz Royale, Epic has unveiled a second major game mode for Fortnite that's dropping on June 18th. It's called Lego Expeditions, and it's a PvE option that looks sort of like a brick-infused take on Diablo.

Fortnite is launching a new game mode called Blitz Royale which is specifically designed for mobile players. Fortnite is one of the fewest games in the market right now, which can be played on all devices, be it mobiles, tablets, PCs and consoles. Not only that, every device supports crossplay as well. That is why this new upcoming mode is going to be a new way to immerse into the game. This mode comes as the part of a major update in the game, which is also bringing some other changes as well like Ballistic update and many more. Blitz Royale is coming to Fortnite Fortnite has announced via its official Twitter handle that this new mode called Blitz Royale is coming to the game on June 18, 2025. It is actually specifically designed for mobile players but PC and console players will also be able to play this mode. This is actually a treat for the fans, as Fortnite has also made a grand return on iOS in the USA a few weeks ago. As mentioned earlier, Blitz Royale is a mobile friendly mode with easy accessible touch controls which consists of Quick Matches lasting for just about 5 minutes. Also the lobby of each match is capped at 32 players only, which will also give an enthralling rush experience.

There have been rumors as well which suggests that this mode will have weekly seasons along with the return of Avatar items and a potential TMNT crossover. This is actually a significant move from Fortnite after its legal battle with Apple and this game mode makes a lot of sense as the game is now officially available on iPhones and iPads.

‘Fortnite' Is Getting A New, Fast-Paced Battle Royale Mode This Week
A new Battle Royale mode is dropping into Fortnite very soon. Every six months or so, I get sucked back into Fortnite for a while. Usually, it's a cool new mechanic or cosmetic that ropes me back in. This time around, it was the big Death Star event that ended the last season. Anyway, I can see myself hanging around a bit longer than usual this time to check out a brand-new Battle Royale mode that's coming to Fortnite very soon. It's called Fortnite Blitz Royale. We don't know too many details about it yet other than what Epic Games has shared in a couple of tweets. It's said to be a faster-paced version of Battle Royale that's available on all platforms with support for cross-play. However, it has a "a rogue-like design specifically crafted for mobile play," according to Epic. That's pretty interesting, even though Fortnite's Battle Royale variants are already effectively roguelike modes. Other than your cosmetics, you start each game afresh and have to loot weapons and items. I'm curious whether there'll be ongoing gameplay progression in this mode (which would make it more of a roguelite, to be more precise). One other intriguing thing here is that Epic suggests that it will only take five minutes to play a game of Fortnite Blitz Royale, rather than the 20-25 minutes for a regular BR match.

According to Fortnite leaker iFireMonkey, Blitz Royale matches will have 32 players instead of up to 100. It's likely that matches will take place in a smaller area too. We won't have to wait long to find out exactly what Fortnite Blitz Royale is all about. It's set to go live on June 18, as part of an update that will include a bunch of new features for Fortnite Ballistic, a fresh game mode for Lego Fortnite and the latest Fornite Festival season. I'm definitely curious to play Fortnite Blitz Royale. I've also been meaning to play some Fortnite with mouse controls on my Switch 2, so I'll try that soon and report back. 🫡 Follow my blog for coverage of video games (such as Fortnite) and word games.
