Microsoft Flight Simulator players are flying into Hurricane Laura

Today sees the pelting of an heady new semester in Fortnite -- but not for everyone. Due to the actuality that of the open-ended undisputable boxing betwixt developer Ballsy Games as well-built as Apple, the game's latest semester won't be efflorescent on Darling hardware, including the iPhone, iPad, as well-built as Mac. This marks a huge gestation for Fortnite, a game that has continued been at the forefront of crossplay. Now that's changed. If you're province the game on an Darling dingbat -- which is still possible if you once hypothesize it installed -- you're experiencing a very diverse adaptation of Fortnite. As well-built as it's one that feels vastly inferior to what's awaited on every over-and-above platform.

One of the champion things approximately Fortnite is the way it works seamlessly grander mobile, consoles, as well-built as PCs. Recent from some dominance as well-built as graphical differences, it's substantially the same game on every device. That ways I can comedy it on my PS4 as well-built as then turn-on up the sensibleness on a Switch, PC, or wherever else utilizing the same account, as well-built as all of my progress as well-built as customization carries over. It's betwixt betwixt one of the sheepskin I hypothesize the game installed on therefore mucho devices; I typically comedy on console, but use the portable versions to sneak in some missions as well-built as matched up my boxing canyon while I'm distant from the lusting room.

For the new season, which is Marvel-themed, there are a lot of daffy things to dig into. If you purchase the boxing pass, seasonable off the bat you'll unlock a playable adaptation of Thor, as well-built as there are some new points of interest on the island as well. My customary favorite is simply a shields graveyard, a patch of land full of the towering robots from the X-Men shakiness now reduced to partage of the scenery. There are over-and-above neat touches that add to the Curiosity vibe. You wait for a match on a Helicarrier, as well-built as the gossamery boxing bus is accompanied by some planes as it hustling towards the island.

If you're province on iOS, none of these elements are present. Instead, you substantially get a adaptation of the game in stasis, with all of the content up until the blastoff of semester 4. The loading screen, the lobby, upscale the island itself reside as they were in semester 3. Meanwhile, newly purchased content -- like that Thor snuffle -- no surmount shows up in your locker. Functionally, Fortnite still works on Darling hardware; you can comedy matches in a array of modes neutral like always. But neutral a few hours hindmost semester 4 debuted, these versions once feel dated. (The personally hint of the new semester is in the game mode menu, which individualism Curiosity cultism art.)

Perhaps the surmount surreal eyebrow of the Darling adaptation of Fortnite is the lack of any frame of progression. The boxing canyon menu pragmatism is no surmount accessible, as well-built as there aren't any day-to-day quests to take on. In fact, there are no sensibleness points whatsoever. Typically in Fortnite, everything you do -- whether it's acceptable a match or outlet a chest -- earns you a little XP, which goes towards unlocking new notation as well-built as over-and-above goodies. Now there's nothing.

Obviously, this makes the Darling versions of the game significantly less appealing. If you use iOS or macOS as your primary platform, you're missing out on a lot. As well-built as upscale if it's your secondary option, the lack of cross-platform progression makes this adaptation of the game substantially useless. I can't see wanting to comedy Fortnite on my iPad if it doesn't info me make progress on my main account. You may conjointly lose out on the social eyebrow of the game, since the iOS as well-built as Mac versions no surmount suture crossplay, meaning you can't aggregation up with friends on over-and-above platforms.

It's not colorful if, or when, this could change. Ballsy as well-built as Darling are currently in the bosom of a hypercritical boxing that could determine the impending of the App Store -- as well-built as until one of them budges, it's unrealizable iOS will get a adaptation of Fortnite that's on par with every over-and-above platform. It's a situation that particularly sucks for the large devotees that primarily plays the game on iOS. (Android users are safe, since Fortnite can be installed via Epic's own app.) For now, if you comedy what's betwixt betwixt one of the bulkiest games in the world on an iPhone, you're substantially stuck with a time capsule.
