Fortnite has returned to iOS after nearly five years away from the platform in the US. A lengthy legal drama between Fortnite developer Epic Games and Apple saw the two sides pitted against each other over Apple’s digital storefront business practices. A recent ruling by a judge forced Apple to let Fortnite back on the platform, though soon after, Apple had blocked Epic’s app submission on one last technicality that kept the game from reappearing on iOS last week.
But now, it’s downloadable. It won’t appear in search quite yet, but you can download Fortnite on iOS here.
Fortnite is BACK on the App Store in the U.S. on iPhones and iPads… and on the Epic Games Store and AltStore in the E.U! It’ll show up in Search soon!
