Epic Games Store Brings Fortnite Back to Mobile
In a major development, the Epic Games Store is now available for download on iPhones in the European Union and on Android devices.
This marks a significant milestone for Epic Games, as it brings Fortnite back to iPhone devices in select regions and introduces its digital storefront to Android users.
The release of the Epic Games Store on mobile devices is the culmination of a long-standing battle between Epic Games and Apple over the distribution of Fortnite on iOS.
- In August 2020, Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store after Epic Games introduced a direct payment system within the game, violating Apple's App Store policies.
- Epic Games subsequently filed a lawsuit against Apple, alleging anti-competitive practices.
- The legal battle has been ongoing since then, with both sides making their cases in court.
The availability of the Epic Games Store on Android devices is a major win for Epic Games, as it provides an alternative to the Google Play Store and gives users more choice in how they access games and apps.
It also marks a significant shift in the mobile gaming landscape, as it challenges the dominance of the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store.
