"Fortnite," one of the most explosive games at the moment, is now coming to mobile with Xbox cloud gaming. Microsoft has created an avenue for gamers who have missed playing this title on their Android and iOS devices.

Epic Games' "Fortnite" is now a F2P game on Xbox Cloud gaming for Android and iPhone.

It's a known fact that Epic Games and Apple have a bad relationship with one another, as evident from the previous trials in which they participated. The struggle ends up in more lawsuits while the gamers continue to suffer the consequences of this scenario.

At that time, Epic Games came up with its decision to pull out this battle royale game from the iOS ecosystem. The only thing that players can do is hope that things will cool down between the two parties.

However, Microsoft has brought good news for "Fortnite" fans. XDA Developers reports that you can now play this game on your smartphone if you have a Microsoft account.

This same goes with PC and Steam Deck users - through Xbox Cloud gaming, playing "Fortnite" is just one step away. Here's what the Redmond company says about this update.

"Today we reach another key milestone as we expand our business model to make cloud available to more people in even more ways, going beyond Xbox Game Pass to provide our first free-to-play title. In partnership with Epic, Fortnite is available via Xbox Cloud Gaming so fans can play on an iOS device, Android phone or tablet, or Windows PC through a web browser."

Naturally, PC users tend to find it easier to play "Fortnite." You can now heave a sigh of relief for those who have an Xbox app after these changes. As for Xbox Cloud, you need to use a controller since it has not yet supported peripherals like a mouse and keyboard.

Adding a popular video game title to its cloud streaming service is a huge plus for gamers. To add, it's not from Xbox Game Pass, so you can dodge a potential subscription package that you need to pay.

Microsoft says that this step is a good beginning for them, citing that they will implement the feedback from the users right away. We assume that in the future, more free-to-play games will arrive through the cloud platform.

Scarlet Witch to 'Fortnite'

According to another report from Comicbook, there's a new "Fortnite" leak brewing. Sources say that a new Marvel skin may be coming soon into the game.

Just in time for the worldwide release of "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," a rumor suggests that a Scarlet Witch skin might be the next cosmetic for the upcoming update.

HYPEX shares the early images of the leaked skin on Twitter. The photos show Wanda's costume in the movie while she holds a smartphone in her right hand.

It could mean that there's a new wave of Marvel skins that are about to come at any time. Since there are a plethora of cosmetics from the Marvel-Fortnite crossover, there's no doubt that this possibility could be just around the corner.
