Summary

Fortune**t is available again on the US iOS App Store due to a court ruling freeing Epic Games from Apple's restrictions, after being removed in 2014 when Apple banned its in-app payments. Despite Apple blocking Fortnite's return earlier this week and making it unavailable elsewhere in the EU, a legal victory led to its successful resubmission. Epic also introduced a new payment promotion offering players 20% refunds on purchases across multiple games.
