Fortnite’s coming back to the iPhone later this year: Here’s how we got there
- Apple blocked Epic’s attempt at bringing their games back to the iPhone in Europe.
- The European Commission began investigating whether Apple went against EU regulations.
- Apple, facing scrutiny, decided to reinstate Epic’s developer account in Europe.
European users will soon be able to play Epic’s Fortnite on their iPhone, despite a tumultuous back-and-forth between Epic and Apple in the wake of their legal spat.
Following Epic and Apple’s very public legal dispute in 2020, the European Commission (EC) introduced new regulations aimed at combating unfair practices toward business users and customers in Europe. This opened the door for Epic to return to iOS devices. But Apple quickly squashed hopes of Epic’s comeback, by banning Epic’s developer account. On Friday, however, Epic announced that Apple had decided to reinstate their developer account in Europe and the game developer is working on bringing Fortnite back to iOS via the Epic Games Store.
