Epic is Bringing Fortnite to Arm-Based Windows Systems
In a recent blog post, developer Epic Games has announced that it will be making its popular game, Fortnite, compatible with Arm-based Windows machines later this year. The company is working closely with Qualcomm to achieve this goal.
As part of this effort, Epic Games will be offering support for Windows on Snapdragon through its Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat, also known as Easy Anti-Cheat. This move comes as Microsoft pushes forward with its efforts to transition its computing ecosystem to Arm-based hardware with the release of Windows 11 and its line of Copilot+ PCs.
The announcement is significant, as it marks a major step towards making Fortnite compatible with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chips. While Qualcomm has stated that most games should be able to run on these chips without issue, titles with kernel-level anti-cheat technology have presented a challenge. Epic Games’ decision to work on an Arm-based version of its game and services will be crucial in convincing gamers and developers to make the switch.
While no specific timeline was provided for when Fortnite will become available on Arm-based Windows systems, it is clear that this development will play a significant role in driving adoption of the new technology.
