Fortnite players in the United States and the EU have been in a Battle Royale who expect it to end: Apple vs. Epic Games.

On Friday, Fortnite, owned by Epic Games, said Apple blocked access to online game on iPhone devices, writing in X: “Apple has blocked our Fortnite presentation so that we cannot launch the store or epic games.”

An Apple spokesman told CBS News that he had asked Epic Sweden to send the application update again without including the US App Store store so as not to affect Fortnite in other geographies. We did not take any measure to eliminate the live version of Fortnite from alternative distribution markets. “

Fortnite says that the game will remain insecure worldwide in iOS until Apple unlocks it. They say they sent Fortnite to Apple for revision last week, and Epic Games CEO, Tim Sweney, said Apple should accept or reject what they want, but added: “The review of the application must go or the Tollon speech or senior management.”

In 2020, Epic Games sued Apple after Fortnite was expelled from the App Store, stating that Apple Hero is an illegal monopoly with the App Store, and its commission of up to 30% on payments in the application violated the antimonopoly rules of the United States, reports Reuters. In 2024, it was allowed to return.

With luck, technological giants will solve their differences soon so that players can kill each other again on their iPhones.
