Summary
Epic Games' CEO Tim Sweeney announced that Fortnite will return to the iOS App Store in the U.S. next week after a legal battle over Apple's App Store policies and commission rules. Since August 2020, Fortnite has been unavailable on iOS in the U.S. due to Apple restricting Epic’s payment system. Meanwhile, Fortnite is accessible on Epic’s own app store in the EU but not in the U.S. Sweeney suggested a potential resolution, proposing that if Apple extends its friction-free framework globally, Fortnite could return to the App Store worldwide and settle ongoing legal disputes.
