Apple claims it's not blocking Epic from offering Fortnite in the EU, according to a report from Bloomberg.
Apple says it did not take any action to remove the live version of Fortnite from alternative distribution marketplaces and wants Epic's European branch to resubmit the latest game update for publishing.
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney was hoping to relaunch Fortnite on the US App Store following a court victory, but Apple seems to be specific about not wanting Fortnite on the US App Store.
Fortnite was initially removed from the App Store due to Epic's attempt to skip Apple's in-app payment system, part of a larger plan to challenge the control of platforms like Apple and Google.
