Fortnite Applies to Return to Apple’s App Store After Epic’s Latest Legal Win

Written by Dana Nemirovsky, Journalist at Brand Vision.

Fortnite could soon make its long-awaited return to the App Store. Epic Games announced Friday that it has officially resubmitted the game to Apple’s platform, just weeks after scoring a key legal victory in its years-long battle with the tech giant.

Back in 2020, Fortnite was removed from iPhones after Epic added a direct payment option that bypassed Apple’s in-app fees. That move kicked off a massive legal war. But a recent contempt ruling said Apple can’t block developers from linking users to external websites—or charge them a cut when they do.

Apple hasn’t confirmed whether it will approve Fortnite’s submission, and the company is still appealing the ruling. But if Apple allows it, Fortnite could return to the App Store for U.S. users for the first time in four years, reshaping the way developers approach payments on iOS. This marks the latest twist in a battle that’s changed not just Fortnite’s future—but the entire app economy.
