What’s It Like To Play Fortnite on iPhone Now?

The latest version of Fourteen days Not coming to iPhones anytime soon after a judge upheld Apple's decision to remove it from the App Store. Players who already had the game installed will still be able to access it, but it is currently a very different game from what is available on other devices.

The most obvious difference when booting Fourteen days is that the game is still in Chapter 2 - Season 3. Players will be taken to the standard lobby and water-themed season 3 map, which was released in June. The only notable difference is that the Map screen says "Season 0" in the upper left corner.

Console and PC gamers, on the other hand, have moved on to Marvel Season 4, which includes superheroes, a Helicarrier lobby, and themed events around the new map. It feels flashy and expensive next to season 3.

The differences aren't just seasonal. The Battle Pass tab is now grayed out on the iPhone and cannot be opened at all. This means that mobile players no longer have a reward track that grants prizes throughout the season.

Since there is no Battle Pass, there are no XP points either. Typically, players will receive XP points while playing, which are used to unlock ranks on the Battle Pass. Daily challenges that grant XP for completing tasks will also no longer appear in the game. When these systems are completely removed, the mobile version of the game will no longer have any progress.

The Profile tab cannot be clicked either, so players can no longer view their in-game stats.

Despite all the missing parts, Fourteen days is still very playable on the iPhone. Players can jump into any game mode as usual. Even the store is open, although Epic's decision to change the way players buy cosmetics resulted in its being removed in the first place.

Basically, it's still the exact same game, but it already feels dated next to its console counterparts. Since Epic Games can't update it, the app will look like it does today unless Apple decides to lift the ban. It's stuck in season three stasis showing how much Fourteen days relies on exciting events and updates to stay relevant.

Players who still have the game installed on iOS or Android devices can see it for themselves. Anyone who has had it once but deleted it can still download the app again.
