Epic Games intends to submit Fortnite to the US App Store by utilizing its Sweden developer account, as stated by CEO Tim Sweeney. This comes after a significant court ruling that bars Apple from collecting fees on transactions outside of apps. Despite previous complications which led to Epicâs account termination, Sweeney confirmed that discussions with Apple are ongoing. While Fortnite's return is anticipated soon, exact dates remain uncertain. This news follows the recent launch of Fortnite's Star Wars-themed season, indicating the game continues to evolve even amid legal disputes.
"We have conversed with Apple on the topic," Sweeney said in an X post over the weekend. He noted that Epic created its Sweden account last year."
On Wednesday, following the major ruling in Epic Games v. Apple that blocked Apple from collecting fees on purchases outside of apps, Sweeney said that Fortnite would return to the US App Store 'next week.'
