Epic Games has re-submitted Fortnite to the United States-based App Store following a court ruling that Apple can no longer charge 15-30% commission fees on purchases made from Apple devices.
The legal battle between Apple and Epic Games began when Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store in 2020 after Epic introduced an in-app payment system to circumvent Apple's policies.
Epic Games had its United States-based developer account banned by Apple, prompting discussions about using a Swedish developer account to launch Fortnite in the U.S.
Apple has started accepting App Store submissions for apps allowing off-app purchases post the court ruling, with Epic Games hoping for Fortnite's reinstatement on iOS devices.
