There are ways to enjoy the game even when the game is still blocked. These are the only ways to play Fortnite on Mac at present.

What performance can I expect when playing Fortnite on Mac?

The only factor while playing Fortnite on a Mac using Cloud Gaming is your internet. You should have a stable, fast, and secure internet connection. The best internet connections are WI-FI 6 and fiber cables. Internet through cable will always be more stable than WI-FI. You can check how good your connection is using a speed tester on the internet.

Why can't I play Fortnite on Mac?

Fortnite cannot be played on Mac or IOS because Apple has blocked the game from their platform. After Epic Games bypassed the App Store payment system, they filed a lawsuit. Apple filed a countersuit, and the judge decided in favor of Apple on nine of ten counts but found against Apple on its anti-steering policies under the California Unfair Competition Law. There is still hope that Fortnite will come back to Mac and IOS. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has teased a return of Fortnite in 2023.
