Fortnite Mobile App Now Available Globally via Epic Games Store

Fortnite Returns to iOS and Expands on Android

Fortnite is making a triumphant return to iOS in the European Union after being removed from the App Store over four years ago. Players can now sideload it through the new Epic Games Store app or AltStore PAL. This launch comes on the heels of prolonged legal battles between Epic Games and Apple, alongside new EU regulations requiring Apple to permit alternative app stores.

The Epic Games Store is also now available for Android users globally. Epic plans to expand to additional app stores, like Aptoide for iOS and ONE Store for Android, and aims to introduce third-party games to its mobile store by December. However, Apple’s fees and regulatory challenges pose obstacles. Developers may face a “Core Technology Fee” for distributing their apps outside the App Store, which could deter some from using third-party stores. Despite these hurdles, Epic remains optimistic about the future, noting that Fortnite’s return is a significant step in their ongoing fight against Apple’s app marketplace control.
