Apple has blocked Epic Games' submission of Fortnite just as it was preparing to return to iOS in the US, amidst a long-standing legal battle since 2020 over app distribution rights. Epic accused Apple of monopoly practices after attempting to sell in-game currency directly to players, circumventing Apple's fee. Although Fortnite re-entered the EU App Store due to regulatory changes, its worldwide unavailability stems from Apple's unresolved legal strategies. A federal judge recently ruled against Apple, indicating that the company violated injunctions designed to promote alternative payment methods.
Epic Games' recent submission of Fortnite to Apple for iOS was blocked, continuing a legal dispute that began in 2020 over app distribution practices.
Despite attempts to return Fortnite to iOS, Apple's continued exclusion of the game suggests ongoing anti-competitive behavior, as ruled by a recent federal judge.
