Fortnite returned to the American application store after nearly five years
The famous Battle Royale game, FortniteFinally available for download and playing on iOS The United States App Store after removing it in 2020. This return to the store follows The last pressure from a federal judge Urging Apple to allow Fortnite Again on the digital market.
Earlier this month, the federal judge, iPhone Gonzalez Rogers-who participated in this court battle from the beginning-Apple could not take an wrong process of purchases that were performed outside the applications and the technology giant’s ban to restrict how developers can direct people to the third-party payment options. The judge also ruled Apple should immediately stop preventing or hindering Devs from including third -party payment options. This led to the announcement of EPIC, now after it was free to include its payment system, it will return Fortnite To the application store in the United States.
But Apple, which appeals to the ruling, will not approve it Fortnite To return as part of the standard application approval process. This step prompted an epic to request the intervention of the court. on monday, Judge Rogers issued an order Apple Warning that if he does not comply with the court’s demands, the court may end up with the court that needs to explain itself.
The judge said: “Apple is fully able to solve this case without further briefing or a hearing.”
“However, if the two parties do not make a joint notice that this problem has been resolved, and that this court is required, the Apple official personally official must appear in person to ensure compliance personally in the session specified under this on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.”
It seems that, at least, at least, Apple decided to avoid another legal battle in court, and Fortnite He is now returning to the application store yet 1741 days.
“I have returned Fam,” the CEO of EPIC Tim Sweeey has released shortly after App Store.
Of course, Apple appeals the judge’s orders because they are fighting to control its application store and take part of each transaction made in official applications on iOS devices. Apple has the resources needed to continue fighting in the court, and I expect that this is not the end of this legal war between EPIC and Apple, which started nearly five years ago when EPIC decided to avoid the Apple policy of taking the process of each application. This step led to Fortnite It is removed from the application store and subsequent years of court battles. Currently, players can log in Fortnite On iPhone and iPads again.
