Fortnite maker Epic Games has announced it is partnering with Qualcomm to launch the game on Windows devices that use the chip manufacturer’s Arm-based Snapdragon processors.
Compatibility will be enabled by the addition of Windows on Snapdragon support for Epic’s Easy Anti-Cheat tool.
While the arrival of Windows 11 has accelerated adoption of laptops that use Qualcomm’s X Series processors for gaming, most PC games are currently written for x64 architecture, which requires additional tooling to work on Snapdragon devices.
Epic said its battle-testing of the anti-cheat support on Fortnite would smoothen the path for the launch of other games on the platform.
The support is expected to go live towards the end of 2022.
