Fortnite could appear on iOS devices sooner than expected, according to new information provided by Epic Games. In 2020, Fortnite announced that players using iOS and Google Play would be able to purchase in-game currency or packs directly through Epic to facilitate payments. This also made it possible for fans to avoid paying the 30 percent markup on iOS, which made V-Bucks and packs more expensive. Once the change was implemented, Apple removed Fortnite from its store, and a long legal battle ensued.
Nearly five years have passed since this incident, and it has finally been settled in court. The tax has been abolished, gamers won't have to pay fees for in-game purchases, and Fortnite was announced to be returning to iOS in the US soon. On May 1, Tim Sweeney, the founder of Epic Games, announced that players could expect to be able to play Fortnite on iOS devices within the following week but did not reveal the exact date. This, of course, made the community quite excited, as many gamers lost access to Fortnite since this was their only available platform.
