Fortnite is a gaming sensation, and if you're a PC gamer, you're probably used to getting your games from Steam. So, you might be wondering, "is Fortnite on Steam?". The short answer is no, Fortnite is not available on Steam. But don't worry, you can still play it on your PC, and there's even a way to add it to your Steam library.

Why isn't Fortnite on Steam?

Fortnite was made by a company called Epic Games. Epic Games has its own store and launcher for PC games, called the Epic Games Store. They want players to use their store to get Fortnite, so they haven't made it available on other stores like Steam. It's like how you can only watch some movies on Netflix and others on Disney+.

I remember when Fortnite first came out, I spent ages looking for it on Steam. I was so confused when I couldn't find it! I thought my computer was broken or something. It wasn't until a friend told me that I had to get it from the Epic Games Store that I finally got to play.

How to play Fortnite on PC

Even though it's not on Steam, it's still really easy to play Fortnite on your PC. All you have to do is:

1. Go to the Epic Games website.

2. Download and install the Epic Games Launcher.

3. Create an Epic Games account.

4. Find Fortnite in the store and download it.

It's completely free to download and play, but there are in-game purchases you can make, like new skins for your character.

How to add Fortnite to your Steam library

If you like to have all your games in one place, you can add Fortnite to your Steam library as a "non-Steam game." This won't let you download or update the game through Steam, but it will let you launch it from your Steam library and use the Steam overlay in-game. Here's how to do it:

1. Open Steam and go to your library.

2. Click "Add a Game" in the bottom-left corner.

3. Select "Add a Non-Steam Game."

4. Find Fortnite in the list of programs and click "Add Selected Programs."

I did this myself, and it's so much more convenient to have all my games in one place. I don't have to remember which launcher to open for which game anymore. It's a small thing, but it makes a big difference!

Even though you can't get Fortnite directly from Steam, it's still a super fun game that's easy to get and play on your PC. Whether you add it to your Steam library or not, you're sure to have a blast playing it.

If you want to make in-app purchases in Fortnite, like for new skins or the Battle Pass, you can use Playstorm to earn gift cards for the Epic Games Store. Just play free games on the Playstorm app and redeem your points for a gift card. It's an easy way to get awesome new stuff in Fortnite without spending your own money.
