Epic Games announced the global return of Fortnite to Apple’s App Store on Tuesday. This worldwide re-launch follows the game’s return to the U.S. App Store in May 2025. The move ends a nearly five-year ban triggered by a 2020 dispute over in-app payment commissions.
Epic Games expressed confidence in its ongoing legal battle against Apple’s fee structure. The company expects governments to reject Apple's commission model once court proceedings reveal internal costs.
CEO Tim Sweeney described the move as a precursor to a final court battle. This follows recent Supreme Court decisions that ruled against Apple’s App Store fee policies.
