Good news for Fortnite fans: playing the worldwide Fortnite mobile app on iOS and Android is now possible with the Epic Games Store! Thanks to new EU rules and a long legal battle<\/a> between Epic Games and Apple, you can now download Fortnite on your phone!<\/p>\n

A quick recap of a legal battle between Epic Games and Apple:\u00a0<\/strong>Epic Games sued Apple after being removed from the App Store for allowing direct payments in Fortnite, which broke Apple\u2019s rules.\u00a0Epic argued that Apple\u2019s 30% fee and control over app distribution were unfair and anti-competitive. The court didn\u2019t label Apple a monopoly but ruled that Apple must allow developers to direct users to other payment options.<\/p>\n

Sorry Apple, the worldwide Fortnite mobile app for iOS and Android is now available through the Epic Games Store and beyond<\/h2>\n

Fortnite is returning to iOS in the EU after being removed from the App Store over four years ago. Players can now sideload<\/a> it through the new Epic Games Store app or AltStore PAL. The launch follows years of legal battles between Epic and Apple and new EU regulations requiring Apple to allow alternative app stores.<\/p>\n

The Epic Games Store is also now available for Android users globally. Epic plans to expand to additional app stores, like Aptoide for iOS and ONE Store for Android, and aims to introduce third-party games to its mobile store by December. However, Apple\u2019s fees and regulatory challenges pose obstacles. Developers may face a \u201cCore Technology Fee\u201d for distributing their apps outside the App Store, which could deter some from using third-party stores. Despite these hurdles, Epic remains optimistic about the future, noting that Fortnite\u2019s return is a significant step in their ongoing fight against Apple\u2019s app marketplace control.<\/p>\n
