The central question revolves around the availability of Epic Games’ popular title, Fortnite, on Apple’s iOS platform. This availability has been disrupted due to a legal dispute between Epic Games and Apple regarding in-app payment policies. Consequently, the game is currently not accessible for direct download or play on iPhones and iPads through the official App Store.
The return of this title to iOS is significant for several reasons. It represents a potential resolution to a major legal conflict within the tech industry, and its return will grant millions of iOS users access to a widely popular gaming experience. The historical context of this absence includes the initial removal of the game from the App Store in August 2020, which subsequently sparked the ongoing legal battle.
