While the Kindle Fire tablets don't officially support Fortnite, there are workarounds that you can use to play Fortnite on them. Long story short; yes, you can play Fortnite on Kindle Fire tablets. 

Especially on the newer ones, like the Kindle Fire HD 10 Plus, it's possible to run Fortnite with relative ease.

However, since you won't find Google Play Store preinstalled on a Kindle Fire tablet, there are a few workarounds you need to perform to install Fortnite on it.

How to install Fortnite on Kindle Fire tablets

To install Fortnite on a Kindle Fire tablet, you must enable App Installation from Unknown Sources. Here is how you can do that:

  • Open Settings. 
  • Select the Security and Privacy option. 
  • Tap on "Apps from unknown sources." [You will find it in the Privacy section]
  • Tap on Silk Browser.
  • Now, tap on the slider on the right side to enable unknown APKs downloaded via the Silk Browser. 

Once that is done, you must install three Google Services and the Google Play Store 

  • Google Services Framework 
  • Google Play Services 
  • Google Account Manager 
  • Google Play Store 

Depending on your FireOS version and which generation the tablet falls in, you must download the respective versions of the listed apps and services. 

After that, you can open Google Play on your Kindle Fire tablet, log in to your Google Play account, search Fortnite, download, install, and play.
