While the list specifically states which iOS devices will support Fortnite, the first point states that 4 GB RAM is a must. Moreover, the leaker also mentioned that “Fortnite does not support the A12 chip in the iPhones. Fortnite does support the A12X and A12Z in the 2018 & 2020 iPad Pros.”
He further cleared out another layer of fog by saying that the iPad Pro 10.5 might not support Fortnite. Well, you can take the list with a grain of salt, as Epic Games has yet to make an official announcement.
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney announced that Fortnite will be back on the U.S. iOS App Store within a week. Later, he replied to a question and said there is no news on the game’s availability in the U.S. yet.
No news, sorry.

Which iPhone models specifically support 120 FPS in Fortnite
Leaks indicate that Fortnite on iOS specifically supports 120 FPS on iPhone Pro models equipped with ProMotion displays, starting from the iPhone 13 Pro series.
Confirmed 120 FPS iPhone Models
These Pro models are flagged in leaks and reports for 120 FPS capability in Fortnite:
-
iPhone 13 Pro
-
iPhone 13 Pro Max
-
iPhone 14 Pro
-
iPhone 14 Pro Max
-
iPhone 15 Pro
-
iPhone 15 Pro Max
-
iPhone 16 Pro
-
iPhone 16 Pro Max
Performance Notes
Support requires selecting 120 FPS in Fortnite’s video settings, available only on devices with 120Hz ProMotion screens and sufficient power like A15 Bionic or newer chips. Lowering graphics quality may be needed to maintain stable 120 FPS. Non-Pro models top out at 60 FPS per these leaks.
This remains based on leaks as of mid-2025, with no official Epic confirmation of final implementation.
Does Fortnite require extra settings to enable 120 FPS on iPhone
No, Fortnite on supported iPhone Pro models does not require extra settings to enable 120 FPS.
Users can simply access the in-game video settings under the Display tab and select 120 FPS directly from the Mobile Frame Rate dropdown, provided the device has a 120Hz ProMotion display (like iPhone 13 Pro and later Pros).
How to Enable It
-
Launch Fortnite and navigate to Settings > Video > Display.
-
Locate “Mobile Frame Rate” and choose 120 from the options (20, 30, 60, 120).
-
Apply changes; the game will adjust graphics quality if needed to sustain the frame rate.
Potential Caveats
Older guides mention file edits (e.g., via iMazing to tweak config files like GameUserSettings.ini), but these apply to unofficial sideloading before Fortnite’s App Store return, not current official play.
Post-return leaks and videos confirm the option appears natively on compatible devices like iPhone 15 Pro Max or iPhone 16 Pro without hacks.
Updates may occasionally hide the option temporarily, resolvable by restarting or checking device compatibility.
