How to play Fortnite natively from Epic Games Store
While there are options available for using game-streaming services to play Fortnite on a Mac, the native version from the Epic Games Store has several limitations at this time.
We recommend considering the streaming options provided by Xbox Cloud Gaming or Nvidia GeForce Now, or alternatively, Amazon Luna if you already have an Amazon Prime subscription.
Additional methods are also mentioned, but they are currently not viable due to Epic’s anti-cheat system.
