4. Connect to your PC using the PIN:

6. Launch Fortnite in the Epic Games Store:
– On the Fortnite game page, click on the “Get” or “Install” button to start downloading the game to your PC.

– You may experience some lag or latency depending on your internet connection, so it’s recommended to have a stable and fast connection for the best experience.
Remember, playing Fortnite through Chrome Remote Desktop relies heavily on the performance of your PC and internet connection. If your PC is not powerful enough or your internet connection is slow, you may experience lag or poor gameplay. It’s also worth noting that Chromebooks are not specifically designed for gaming, so the overall gaming experience may not be as smooth as on a dedicated gaming PC.
