Hey gamers! 🎮 Guess what? Fortnite is back on iPhones in the U.S. after almost 5 years! 📱🎉
If you’ve missed building towers and outlasting your friends in Battle Royale on your iPhone, the wait is over. But why was it gone in the first place?
Back in 2020, Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, had a disagreement with Apple. It was all about how payments worked in the App Store. Epic didn’t like that Apple took up to 30% of the money from in-app purchases. So, they got into a big legal battle. ⚖️
But now, thanks to a recent court decision, Fortnite is making a triumphant return! A judge said that Apple needs to allow more competition in how apps are downloaded and how payments are made. This means more choices for all of us! 🥳
Epic Games’ CEO, Tim Sweeney, shared the exciting news by posting, “We back fam,” on social media. That means we can all jump back into the action on our iPhones! 🕹️
Did you know? When Fortnite first came out in 2017, it became super popular. Millions of players around the world joined in on the fun. Even if Fortnite isn’t as new as it once was, many people still love playing it.
This return might also change how other apps work on iPhones. Some people think that other apps like Spotify and Netflix might be able to offer better deals to their users now. Cool, right? 🤔
Fortnite is also available on Android devices and has been back on those phones for a while. So, whether you have an iPhone or an Android phone, you can jump into the Battle Bus and play with your friends again! 🚀
Are you excited to play Fortnite on your iPhone again? Let the games begin! 🏆
