Fortnite Returns to Apple's App Store Worldwide
Epic Games rolls Fortnite back onto Apple's global App Store after its 2025 US comeback, betting big on its legal fight.
Fortnite is back on Apple's App Store everywhere. Epic Games announced Tuesday that its blockbuster battle royale shooter has returned to App Stores globally, building on its US re-launch in 2025.
The move signals Epic is feeling pretty good about its ongoing legal battle with Apple. The two companies have been locked in a high-profile lawsuit over App Store policies and payment rules — a fight that's reshaped how the entire mobile ecosystem thinks about platform control.
Epic originally pulled Fortnite from Apple's walled garden years ago after deliberately triggering a ban by introducing direct payments that bypassed Apple's cut. The global rollout suggests Epic sees the legal winds blowing in its favor.
For the millions of mobile Fortnite players worldwide who've been stuck on the sidelines, the wait is finally over.
