"Fortnite was removed from Google Play and the App Store back in August 2020, shortly after Epic tried to implement its own external payment system for in-game purchases. Epic Games then began its legal offensive against Google and Apple, which it ultimately won, resulting in large-scale changes across the App Store and Google Play."
"As a result of the legal battles, both platforms now allow developers to use alternative payment systems with lower commission fees and no unnecessary scare tactics towards users. The hit battle royale title is once again available on Google Play as a free download just in time for its new Battle Royale Season: Fortnite Showdown."
Fortnite has been relisted on Google Play globally, marking the conclusion of a lengthy legal dispute that began in August 2020. The game was removed from both Google Play and the Apple App Store after Epic Games attempted to implement its own external payment system for in-game purchases. Epic's subsequent legal battles against Google and Apple resulted in significant victories, forcing both platforms to permit developers to use alternative payment methods with reduced commission fees and without aggressive user intimidation tactics. This return coincides with the launch of Fortnite Showdown, the game's new Battle Royale season, and follows its earlier return to the US Google Play in December and Apple App Store in May.
