After months of anticipation, Epic Games has finally unleashed its storefront onto mobile devices. Android users worldwide can now get in on the action, but iPhone owners will have to wait unless they reside in the European Union. This limited iOS release is likely a direct result of Epic’s ongoing legal tussle with Apple.
The launch brings with it the highly anticipated return of Fortnite to iOS devices in the EU, marking an end to its nearly two-year absence. However, the news extends beyond Fortnite fans. Fall Guys, the wildly popular free-to-play battle royale known for its chaotic obstacle courses and adorable jelly bean avatars, is also making its mobile debut alongside the Epic Games Store launch.
Yes, you can now stumble, bumble, and hopefully tumble your way to victory anywhere you go. Couch, bed, or even the toilet — it’s your choice!
Run, jump, grab and dive… on the go 🌍

Ready to fall? 😉
The arrival of Fall Guys on Android and iOS devices is a major development. Players can now experience the game’s signature blend of frustration and hilarity on the go, with full cross-progression and cross-platform play functionality. This means you can seamlessly transition between your phone and other platforms while maintaining your progress, and even team up or compete against players on PC and consoles. The game also offers customizable controls and button layouts, along with support for physical controllers for a more traditional gaming experience.
But Fall Guys’ mobile debut isn’t just about convenience. It’s a potential game-changer for the genre. The arrival of this high-profile title is likely to split the player base of similar games, like Stumble Guys. While some players might be drawn to Fall Guys’ polished visuals and established brand, others might find Stumble Guys’ accessibility and unique collaborations more appealing.
So, how exactly do you download and install Fall Guys on your phone or tablet? It’s easy.
- Download the Epic Games Store app for your Android or iOS device, but remember, iOS access is currently limited to the EU.
- Android users may encounter some security prompts depending on their device settings. Just override these for a smooth installation.
- Once the Epic Games Store is up and running, head to the app store and download Fall Guys.
- Launch the Fall Guys app and let the game files download.
- Log in or create an Epic Games account to join the bean-battling fun.
Android users will need a device running Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later with at least 4GB of RAM to play Fall Guys. Of course, an internet connection is a must.
