After a nearly five-year hiatus, Fortnite is back on the App Store for iPhone and iPad users in the United States. Epic Games announced the return of the battle royale gaming app this afternoon, and you can head to the App Store now to download it.
Apple kicked Fortnite off the App Store in August 2020 after Epic Games added a backdoor payment method to the game to circumvent Apple’s In-App Purchase system. A multi-year legal battle then ensued between the two companies.
The latest development in the Epic and Apple legal battle came earlier this month when Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers issued an injunction barring Apple from charging commission or otherwise interfering with developers’ ability to direct customers to payment methods outside of the App Store.
Fortnite is also back via the Epic Games Store and AltStore in the European Union.
