Fortnite has made its much-anticipated return to the iOS App Store in the U.S. after nearly five years, marking a significant moment in the ongoing conflict between Epic Games and Apple. This reinstatement stems from Epic's challenge to Apple's control over app monetization, instigated by their integration of a direct payment method in 2020 to avoid Apple's hefty 30% commission on in-app purchases. While the legal battles highlighted the larger issues of digital market access and control, a crucial federal ruling allowed developers to direct users to alternate payment systems, paving the way for Fortnite's return.
Fortnite's return to the iOS App Store marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing power struggle between developers like Epic Games and platform leaders like Apple.
