Fortnite: Battle Royale has been wildly successful for a whole bunch of reasons, one of which is accessibility. Epic Games has released the title for free on nearly every conceivable device, and now, Fortnite is poised to launch on yet another platform: Android.

Fortnite is finally coming to Android this summer. Though a mobile version of the game already exists, it’s only compatible with certain Apple devices. Fortnite for Android will arrive first for the Samsung Galaxy Note on August 9 then rolled out on other Android devices on August 24, according to XDA Developers. Here’s the full list of 40 Android smartphones that will support Fortnite:

Google Pixel 2
Google Pixel 2 XL
Huawei Mate 10
Huawei Mate 10 Lite
Huawei Mate 10 Pro
Huawei P10
Huawei P10 Plus

This is welcome news for Android users but hardly surprising. Ever since Fortnite: Battle Royale was released in 2017, Epic Games has maintained a rapid growth rate by continually removing barriers of entry. If your Android device isn’t on here, that doesn’t mean you should lose hope. In fact, you should bank on the fact that Epic Games is already working to implement it onto your platform of choice.

Just don’t play it while you’re crossing the street.
