Fortnite Offline Worldwide: Epic Games vs. Apple Round Two
2025-05-16

Epic Games' attempt to bring Fortnite back to iOS devices has been blocked by Apple, making the popular battle royale game unavailable worldwide on iPhones and iPads. This stems from a 2020 legal battle sparked by Epic Games violating App Store rules. Despite submitting through a subsidiary account, Apple remains unyielding. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney expressed frustration, citing Apple's lack of response and questioning the review process's speed. The ongoing legal battle highlights the ongoing disagreement over in-app payments and commissions.
