Can the Amazon Kindle Fire run Fortnite?
It won't be an overstatement to state that running Fortnite is a heavy task for any device, and the Kindle Fire is no exception.
Even though the Kindle Fire is not a gaming-based device, some of its variants can run Fortnite decently. The specifications to run Epic Games' Battle Royale game on Android devices are:
- 64-bit Android
- Android OS 8.0 or higher
- Minimum 4GB of RAM
- GPU: Adreno 530 or higher, Mali-G71 MP20, Mali-G72 MP12 or higher
Based on these latest requirements, only the latest 4 GB variant of the Amazon Fire HD10 will be able to run Fortnite.
A prominent method through which Amazon Fire users can run Fortnite smoothly is using the NVIDIA GeForce Now application. It comes with a paid version, but even the free variant can help in boosting gaming performance for limited hours a day.
As of now, Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 8 is underway and The End live event is closer than ever. A new Chapter in Fortnite is about to begin, and now might be the ideal time for Kindle Fire users to begin their Battle Royale journey.
