Fortnite has taken the gaming world by storm since its release in 2017. With its unique blend of shooting, building, and survival elements, it has captured the hearts of millions of players worldwide. However, many students face the dilemma of not being able to play the game on their school Chromebooks, which are often restricted from downloading certain apps and games. But fear not, as we have found a way for you to play Fortnite on your school Chromebook.

Before we dive into the steps, it is important to note that Fortnite is available on various modern gaming platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, and Android. It was previously unavailable on iOS and Android due to legal disputes with Google over in-app payment systems. However, it is set to return to Android devices through the Epic Games Store later in 2024. Fortnite is also available on iOS in Europe, MacOS, cloud gaming platforms, and Chromebooks.

So, without further ado, let's get into the steps to play Fortnite on a school Chromebook:

1. Set up GeForce Now on your Chromebook using Nvidia's GeForce Now and sign in to Epic Games' account.

GeForce Now is a cloud gaming platform that allows you to stream games on your Chromebook without downloading them. To set up GeForce Now, open the Chrome browser on your Chromebook and go to the Nvidia website. Sign up for an account and download the GeForce Now app from the Chrome Web Store. Once downloaded, log in to your Epic Games' account and access the Fortnite game through the app.

2. Log in to Epic Games' account and search for Fortnite in the Epic Games Store.

If you prefer to download the game instead of streaming it, you can access the Epic Games Store through the Chrome browser on your Chromebook. Log in to your Epic Games' account and search for Fortnite in the store. Once you find it, click on the 'Get' button to download the game. You can then launch the game and start playing.

3. Play Fortnite on the Xbox Cloud Gaming platform using a browser.

Another option to play Fortnite on your school Chromebook is through the Xbox Cloud Gaming platform. This platform allows you to play Xbox games on your Chromebook without needing an Xbox console. To access Xbox Cloud Gaming, open the Chrome browser and go to the Xbox website. You can then sign in to your Microsoft account and start playing Fortnite through the browser.

Note that Xbox Cloud Gaming does not require an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This makes it an easier and more affordable option for students to play Fortnite on their school Chromebooks.

Playing Fortnite on a school Chromebook may seem like a daunting task, but with the availability of cloud gaming platforms, it is now possible. Whether you choose to stream the game or download it, these steps will help you get your Fortnite fix on your school Chromebook. So, what are you waiting for? Gather your friends and start playing Fortnite on your Chromebook during your lunch break or after school. Happy gaming!
