Why do I get the message, "Have you played Fortnite Before?" when trying to launch Fortnite on my mobile device?
To launch the app try the following:
- Start Fortnite on your mobile device.
- Select Yes - Find my Account.
- Allow some time for a browser window to update.
- In The browser window sign in using your Epic account credentials.
After signing in you will be redirected back to the “Have you played Fortnite before?” screen in the Fortnite app - Select Yes - Find my Account
- As soon as the browser window opens, close it to return to the Fortnite app.
If the steps mentioned above did not fix your issue, and you are using a Samsung device, please try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Open Fortnite on your Samsung mobile phone
- Click the hamburger menu button, on the bottom part of the screen (it's the one where you can see applications that are currently running), and find Fortnite.
- When you locate Fortnite, click on the Fortnite logo, on the top of the tile, and then, click Lock this app
- Resume the game, by clicking on the game's tile
- Select Yes - Find my Account
- Allow some time for the browser window to update
- In the browser window, sign in using your Epic account credentials.
After signing in, you will be redirected back to the “Have you played Fortnite before?” screen in the Fortnite app - Select Yes - Find my Account
- As soon as the browser window opens, close it without letting it load, to return to the Fortnite app
You should now be back on Fortnite, and the sign-in issue should be resolved.
