Fortnite Makes a Comeback on iOS and Android
Fortnite , the popular game developed by Epic Games , is making a triumphant return to iOS after a four - year absence . This move comes after Apple removed the game from the iOS App Store and follows a series of legal battles between Epic and Apple . The game is now available in the EU through the Epic Games Store and AltStore PAL , a third - party app store . Additionally , the Epic Games Store is launching for Android users worldwide.
Despite the initial challenges , Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney expressed excitement over the return of Fortnite on iOS in Europe , thanking the European DMA law for making it possible.
The game 's revival on iOS coincides with the launch of a new Marvel - themed season , providing EU players with a compelling reason to re - engage with the game on Apple 's mobile platform . In addition to Fortnite , European iPhone users and global Android players can also access other Epic Games titles such as Rocket League Sideswipe and a mobile version of Fall Guys through the Epic Games Store.
Epic Games Store Expansion and Revenue Share
Epic Games is not only bringing its popular titles to mobile but is also expanding its digital storefront to offer a curated selection of third - party games . The company aims to have a robust library of games on the mobile platform by December and plans to introduce self - publishing options in 2025 . Epic 's revenue share model , offering developers an 88 percent share , is set to attract more developers to the platform . However , hurdles such as Apple 's Core Technology Fee pose challenges for developers looking to list their apps on third - party stores.
Epic Games is optimistic about scaling these obstacles and capitalizing on the revenue potential of its mobile offerings.
While there are concerns about Apple 's fees and regulations , Epic remains committed to providing a competitive alternative for developers and consumers . The company 's strategic approach to navigating the mobile gaming market underscores its long - term vision for growth and market expansion.
Fortnite Returns to Mobile Devices Through Epic Games Store
Epic Games has officially announced the return of Fortnite to mobile devices , marking a significant milestone for the game 's fanbase . In addition to Fortnite , other popular titles like Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe are also available on Android devices worldwide and EU iPhones through the Epic Games Store and AltStore . This move comes as a result of regulatory changes introduced by the EU 's Digital Markets Act , which has opened up new opportunities for Epic Games to reach a wider audience.
Epic Games Founder and CEO Tim Sweeney expressed gratitude for the progress made in the mobile ecosystem , allowing for increased competition and choice for developers and consumers.
The availability of Fortnite and other titles on mobile platforms signals a shift towards a more open and competitive market , benefiting both developers and players alike . As Epic Games continues to expand its reach and offerings , the future of mobile gaming looks promising for all stakeholders involved.
