On May 1st, Epic Games founder Tim Sweeney shared that Fortnite will be playable on iOS devices sometime next week, although he didn’t specify an exact launch date.
Fortnite is officially making a comeback on iOS devices. After being unavailable for several years, Epic Games has confirmed that the popular battle royale game will return to the platform later this year. This return follows a long legal battle between Epic Games and Apple.
On May 1st, Tim Sweeney announced that Fortnite will be playable on iOS devices sometime next week, though he didn’t provide a specific launch date. This news has excited fans, especially those who didn’t have access to the game because iOS was their only gaming option.
The latest update came through the official Fortnite X account (formerly Twitter), where it was announced that Epic has submitted the Fortnite app to Apple for approval, hoping to release it on the U.S. App Store.
It’s worth remembering that in 2020, Apple revoked Epic’s developer account as tensions escalated between the two companies. Last year, in response to the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which required Apple to allow the Epic Games Store, Apple approved a developer account limited to the EU. However, following a U.S. court ruling last week, it remained unclear whether Epic’s U.S. developer account would receive similar treatment, especially since the judge’s decision didn’t directly mention Epic Games or Fortnite.
How to Download Fortnite on iOS?
While the exact steps to download Fortnite on iOS haven’t been officially confirmed, there are a few possible ways players might gain access. One likely method is direct installation through the App Store, now that legal restrictions have been lifted.
