The immensely popular battle royale game Fortnite finally makes a comeback on mobile devices after a long gap. After a monumental legal battle, the Epic Games Store was launched for iOS and Android devices. Alongside the release of its digital storefront, Epic Games also announced that Fortnite is finally available on mobile devices once again.
Fortnite is available again for Android globally and iPhones in the EU
Epic Games’ popular battle royale game is finally making a comeback to mobile devices after a long gap of four years. The game hasn’t been available on the App Store and Google Play since 2020. However, now Fortnite for mobile is once again available for Android users globally. In Addition, the game has made a comeback on iOS, but only in the European Union for now.
In a press briefing, Tim Sweeney, Epic Games CEO, said that the game maker had spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the legal battle with these platforms. Finally, the EU regulators and other antitrust activity around the globe ultimately forced Apple and Google to let Epic return.
Furthermore, the company mentioned that it is bringing Fortnite back on iOS devices in the EU thanks to the Digital Markets Act. However, Apple is still blocking all other iOS users outside of Europe from accessing Fortnite and Epic Games Store.
The game is offered through the Epic Games Store on iOS in the EU and Android worldwide
Fortnite has been made available on mobile devices via the newly launched Epic Games Store. The digital storefront is available to download on iPhones in the European Union and on Android devices globally. The Epic Games Store has been launched with two more popular games including Rocket League Sideswipe and Fall Guys.
Epic Games has also provided detailed instructions on how to download and install the newly launched digital storefront. Users can also find more information about its first-party games on Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe blogs. Notably, these games would also be available via third-party digital stores like AltStore.
Epic Games has also launched Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5, Season 4: Absolute Doom today. People will be able to enjoy the new season on mobile devices and across all other platforms where it’s available.
