The central question revolves around the potential return of Epic Games’ popular title to Apple’s mobile operating system. Currently, the game is inaccessible on iPhones and iPads through the official App Store. This absence stems from a dispute between Epic Games and Apple regarding in-app purchase policies and revenue sharing models.
The game’s removal from the App Store significantly impacted its mobile user base and revenue streams. Prior to the removal, iOS represented a substantial portion of the game’s overall player base. The legal battle that ensued highlighted broader concerns about the control of app distribution on mobile platforms and the economic implications for developers.
