Fortnite has returned to the U.S. App Store for iPhones and iPads after almost five years of being banned by Apple in a dispute over in-app payments.
This unexpected move by Apple allows users in the United States to install and play Fortnite from the App Store, marking the end of a long-standing disagreement between Apple and Epic Games.
Fortnite Battle Royale is a popular online multiplayer game known for its fast-paced combat, strategic building mechanics, and collaborations with various media franchises since its release in 2017.
The return of Fortnite to the U.S. App Store follows a legal battle between Epic Games and Apple, culminating in a federal judge's ruling that Apple must permit Epic Games' desired in-app purchase method, leading to the game's reinstatement.
