Fortnite's Triumphant Return to iOS: 10 Million Downloads and a Mobile-First Future

After a five-year absence due to a legal battle with Apple, Fortnite has triumphantly returned to the iOS App Store. While initially expecting a quicker resolution, the court process extended the game's absence. Since its May 20th relaunch, Fortnite has already hit the top of the App Store's free games chart, boasting over 10 million downloads. Epic Games plans to focus on mobile growth, optimizing touch controls for battle royale and creator-made experiences. Currently, 60% of players use Apple's payment system, but Epic anticipates increased adoption of its own payment system as more players link their Epic accounts to payment methods.
