it’s a big day for . The company not only presented the last season achieved his long-standing ambition by . The app market is now available on iOS in the European Union (after the bloc required Apple to allow third-party app stores on the iPhone and iPad) and Android worldwide. As a result, it means that Fortnite available on iOS in EU again without trust .
If you remember, in 2020, Epic tried to do this by saying Fortnite On iOS and Android, players can save money by purchasing the in-game currency V-Bucks directly from the publisher. Apple and Google Epic made the game unplayable on their platforms as they could no longer update it to maintain parity with the console and PC versions. Epic starting legal battles that still rage today.
But the EU opened the door Fortnite returning to iOS on the block with the Digital Markets Act coming into effect this year. (Since Android is a more open platform, Epic has its own store and Fortnite there exists throughout the world.) Epic that he will bring a play store and Fortnite To iOS in the EU this year. After Apple rejected the software market twice, more charm than Epic, the latter on the Epic Games Store in July.
In addition to the official return Fortnite brings the Epic Games Store to mobile devices for the first time for iOS and Android. The mobile version of the excellent platformer battle royale is almost on par with the console and PC versions — not currently available on iOS or Android. Otherwise, the game fully supports and cross-progress with other versions as everything is synced through your Epic account.
mobile spin-off Rocket LeagueAlso available in the Epic store on iOS and Android. Epic plans to work with other developers to bring their titles to storefronts in the future.
In addition, Epic makes its games available on other third-party mobile storefronts today. It also plans to do so on Aptoide’s iOS store in the EU, the ONE Store on Android and other app markets.
“The natural cycle is changing and the mobile ecosystem is finally opening up to competition. We are grateful to the European Commission for allowing us to launch the Epic Games Store and make our games available to iOS users in the European Union,” Tim Sweeney, founder and CEO of Epic Games, said in a statement. “Now European iOS users and all Android users can always access PC and they can access our store and games just like they can on open platforms like Mac. The fight is far from over, but this is a significant step forward for developers and consumers, who can begin to benefit from competition and choice.”
In the meantime, I’m looking forward to falling back Fortnitein part because the iPhone’s nickname for the past few years has been Doctor Doom, the Marvel villain. . Also, I really hope that Epic will give it to people soon : Chappell Roan’s emote in Fortnite. I’d happily spend all the V-Bucks on it.
