How to add a game that is not SteamSteps to follow to play Fortnite on Android with Steam Link
The arrival of Fortnite to Android has taken us all by surprise, but those who want to take action a little earlier can do so through Steam Link , if you have a compatible PC, a controller / pad and a decent connection.
There are some little things that we have to tell you about this method, but come on, in 5 minutes or less, you'll be playing Fortnite on your Android smartphone .
First, you need a PC or Mac with Windows and Steam , and you must link Fortnite to your Steam client adding it as a non-Steam game, since Epic has not published it on that platform. The biggest drawback is that this method only works when the phone and the PC are on the same Wi-Fi network .
How to add a game that is not Steam
Open Steam. Make sure you have logged in to a Steam account. Click on "Add a game" in the lower left corner of the screen. Then click on "Add a game that is not Steam . " This will generate a long list of installed programs. Ignore everyone. Click on "Search" in the bottom bar of the window. What we are looking for is to find a file called "FortniteLauncher.exe". In Windows, the default location of the game should be: C: \ Program Files \ Epic GamesFortnite \ FortniteGame \ Binaries \ Win64
Steps to follow to play Fortnite on Android with Steam Link
Now we go with the necessary steps that will allow you to play Fortnite on Android in a fluid way (if you have a decent connection and router):
-
Download the Steam Link app from Play Store if you do not already have it.
-
Connect from your smartphone to the same network as your PC and then start the application. It must detect your PC, and you must put a PIN on the host (the PC) so that everything works.
-
Grab your Bluetooth remote , or USB driver, open Steam Link on your smartphone and match it.
-
Open your Steam account on the PC and execute the BIG PICTURE mode (top right). Almost all compatible Bluetooth drivers will not need configuration; Steam Link will use Steam's built-in reassignment so your PC treats it automatically as an Xbox 360 controller.
- To enjoy!
As long as your connection and PCs are powerful enough, now you can play Fortnite on your Android phone while you're hitting a bath (keep an eye on this and make sure you have a waterproof smartphone), sitting on the porch, lying on the couch or while you make bigger waters ...
