You asked for it, and Epic Games has delivered – Fortnite 7.30 brings with it the long awaited Bluetooth controller support to the famed Battle Royale title on iPhone and iPad.
Fortnite has been around for quite a while and the title is very, very polarizing for a lot of reasons. We’ll not get into that at all. But what we will talk about today is something which many players have been asking for: support for Bluetooth game controllers.

While that sounds like an insane addition to the game (and it is, really) but there is a small thing which everyone should know: this support is limited to MFi-Certified controllers only. In other words: you can’t just hook up any controller with your iPhone or iPad and win away. You must have a controller that has the ‘Made for iPhone/iPad’ badge on it, otherwise you’re out of sheer luck.
Mobile Controller Support
Bluetooth controller support has arrived in mobile on supported devices! Drop in and earn a Victory in a whole new way.
Although a lot of players might dismiss this addition as ‘no big deal,’ but honestly, in a fast paced game like Fortnite, having physical controls to take control of the action is a heavenly gift which no one can deny. Sure, you might be the world’s best swiper and tapper on a mobile device, but nothing comes close to the greatness of a physical controller.
