News Summary

Epic Games has announced the return of Fortnite to iOS in Australia following a significant court ruling. The Australian federal court found Apple and Google’s app marketplaces to be anticompetitive, allowing Epic Games to bring Fortnite and the Epic Games Store back to iOS devices. This decision follows a lengthy legal battle that began when Fortnite was removed from the App Store in 2020 after Epic introduced its own marketplace, bypassing Apple’s 30 percent commission. The court’s ruling marks a victory for Epic, although some of their claims were rejected. The exact date of Fortnite’s return to iOS in Australia is yet to be determined, as Epic navigates the complexities of the antitrust ruling. The game remains unavailable on iOS in Canada.
