FORTNITE is one of the most popular games in the world, with millions of people playing it across multiple platforms.
It’s currently available on PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and Android, but there’s one major platform that Fortnite hasn’t appeared on in years.
In 2020, Fortnite developer Epic Games and Apple got into a payment dispute after Epic wanted to introduce a new payment system into Fortnite.
This would have prevented Apple from reducing in-app purchases made by users on iOS devices.
A lawsuit ensued, and the courts ruled in Apple’s favor on nine out of ten counts.
Since then, Fortnite has not appeared on the App Store and mobile players can only play on Android devices.
In 2022, Epic founder Tim Sweeney tweeted “Next year on iOS,” but this release never happened.
However, things could soon change after the UK passed the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumer Act, which changes the way digital markets work.
The bill aims to “eliminate unfair practices and promote competition in digital markets” and also includes laws against making it difficult to cancel subscriptions.
The DMCC bill was finally passed this month, opening the market for the release of Fortnite on iOS in the UK.
The official Fortnite Twitter account tweeted: “Shout out to the UK for passing a new competition law.”
“The Epic Games Store and Fortnite will come to iOS in the UK in the second half of 2025.”
While Epic Games has previously stated that Fortnite will return to iOS, this is one of the first announcements backed by policy changes.
Also given the long term, it seems like Epic is being more reasonable about the release.
