Hey Fortnite fans! Have you noticed that you can’t play Fortnite on your iPhone right now if you’re in Europe or the United States? 🤔 Here’s what’s going on!
What’s Happening?
Epic Games, the company that makes Fortnite, announced that the game is no longer available on Apple’s iPhones in Europe and the U.S. That means if you try to download or play Fortnite on your iPhone, it won’t work. 😢
Why Can’t We Play?
Well, Epic Games and Apple have been having a big disagreement since 2020. Epic Games thinks it’s unfair that Apple charges a fee of up to 30% on things you buy inside apps, like cool costumes or dance moves in Fortnite. They say this breaks some important rules about being fair in business.
Because of this disagreement, Apple took Fortnite off the App Store back in 2020. They let it back on last year after some new rules in Europe. But now, Fortnite is blocked again! 😱
What’s Next?
Epic Games is asking a judge to make Apple let Fortnite back onto the App Store. They say Apple is not being fair by blocking the game. Apple says they didn’t do anything wrong. We’ll have to wait and see what happens!
Who Are Epic Games and Apple?
Epic Games is a game company from the United States. They’re famous because Fortnite is super popular all over the world! 🌍 Epic Games is also supported by a big company called Tencent from China.
Apple is the company that makes iPhones and iPads. They have a store called the App Store where you can download apps and games.
What Can Players Do?
If you’re in Europe or the U.S., you’ll need to wait until this gets sorted out to play Fortnite on your iPhone. In the meantime, you can still play Fortnite on other devices like computers or game consoles! 🎮
Let’s hope Epic Games and Apple can work things out soon so we can all get back to dropping into Fortnite on our iPhones! 🤞
