on Apple’s IOS systems in Europe. Fortnite will be available in a third-party AltStore mobile shop.
This comes after a long legal battle between Fortnite video games company Epic Games and IOS’s Apple, over the App Store taxes. Fortnite was eliminated from the IOS App Store back in 2020 over a policy conflict. The video games company replied by prosecuting Apple.
Fortnite return was backed by the process ending this January, when Apple modified the rules of its U.S IOS App Store. Apple started to allow app and video games makers to add links and buttons inside their video games, which will send users out to another website where they can introduce their credit card details.
Fortnite return on the Apple IOS system was sustained by the EU’s Thursday term to giant tech companies to comply with the Digital Marketers Act. DMA is a set of regulations that bans Apple and Google from deciding which apps or video games are shared on devices with IOS and Android operating systems.
Fortnite is an online video game developed by the video games group Epic Games, that was released in 2017. Save the World and Battle Royale were the first released versions of the game, followed by Creative, which was launched later in December 2018. Fortnite Battle Royale particularly became a global success and a cultural phenomenon, being considered one of the best and most popular video games worldwide.
Fortnite is considered among the most popular video games, according on its fan base, which gathered more than 125 million players in less than a year. Among its position among the most popular video games, it is also one of the most profitable video games, with earnings of hundreds of millions of dollars per month.
However, the video games company formerly declared it was working on developing its own app store to ensure Fortnite's return. Even though third-party app stores were not accessible on iPhone’s IOS in the US, they are now available for European users.
The video games group claimed that its Epic Games Store will soon be released on IOS and Fortnite’s fans will be able to find the video game there. Rumors claim that Epic Games is also working on other third-party Fortnite's return was backed by the process ending in-app stores.
The video games company announced: “Fortnite will be returning to iOS in the European Union soon, and the Epic Games Store will be coming to Android worldwide and iOS in the European Union bringing all developers great terms: a store fee of 12% for payments we process, and 0% on third party payments.”. No other specific release date was released to the public.
