Fortnite is one step closer to returning to iPhones!

Apple has reinstated the Epic Games account. This will allow Epic Games to offer Fortnite on Apple mobile devices.

Fortnite Battle Royale (also known as just Fortnite) is a multiplayer survival video game developed by Epic Games. This is available for all users of mobile devices, with the exception of Apple devices. The credit for this goes to the dispute between Epic Games and Apple, which started back in 2020. The problem was that in that Epic Games did not want to pay Apple a 30% commission every time a user buys a mobile application or add-on within it.

At Epic Games, they approached the matter in such a way that they provided users of their popular Fortnite game with a 20 percent discount on in-game purchases, and at the same time introduced their own payment system, with which payments are made directly. The company Epic Games violated the rules of the App Store, and as a result, the mobile version of the game Fortnite was simply removed from it. Fortunately, this is about to change for European users of Apple smartphones and tablets.

The Fortnite game will indeed again available in Europe via the Apple App Store. The credit for this should be attributed to the Digital Markets Act (Digital Markets Act â€“ DMA). This purposeÄ guarantees that equal competitive conditions and legal security for companies will be established on the market, and that the rights and interests of European citizens will be protected. Including access to mobile games.

The first step of returning the popular game Fortnite to Apple's mobile devices was made recently. The company Apple is indeedÄ re-established the user account of Epic Games for the online store App Store. This will enable Epic Games to offer Fortnite and other games within the Apple App Store as its own online store.

It is currently unknown when exactly European users will actually be able to download the popular mobile game Fortnite to their Apple mobile devices. This will definitely happen once in March this year. Apple is indeedÄ announced that it will include all requirements of the DMA Act in the upcoming iOS 17.4 mobile operating system.
