AsIGNreports, iPhone and iPadForniteplayers can purchase V-Bucks through either the Epic Games Store or in-app. This marksFortnite'sreturn to the US App Store after nearly five years. In August 2020, bothGoogleand Applepulled the gamefrom its stores following an ongoing legal battle between the latter and Epic. The issue began when Epic introduced a direct payment system forFortnite'sin-game currency, V-Bucks, offering them at a lower price. The developers stated their aim was to bypass the 'exorbitant 30% fee' that Google and Apple imposed on each V-Buck purchase. In late April, a U.S. Federal District Court in California ruled that Apple deliberately violated a court order in its legal case against Epic Games. The court order required the tech giant to allow developers to offer customers different purchasing methods outside of the app. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney then announced thatFortnitewouldreturn to the US App Store in early May, but the companyclaimedthat 'Apple has blocked ourFortnitesubmission so we cannot release to the U.S. App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union.'

Fortnite returns to iPhone app store in US, ending exile imposed by Apple
The popular video game Fortnite has returned to the iPhone app store in the US, ending a prolonged exile that was triggered by a legal showdown over the fees that Apple had been collecting for years through a payment system that tech giant has been forced to change. Fortnite, one of the world's most popular games, hailed its app's long-awaited restoration to the iPhone and iPad in a Tuesday post, marking the first time it will be available on those devices since it was ousted in 2020 for trying to avoid the 15% to 30% commissions that Apple collects on in-app transactions. 'Fortnite is BACK on the App Store in the U.S. on iPhones and iPads … and on the Epic Games Store and AltStore in the E.U! It'll show up in Search soon!' read a tweet from the game's official account. As an upshot of its legal war with Apple, Epic established its own digital store. The video game, which features a virtual gunfight on a digital island, is coming back to the iPhone just a few days after its parent company, Epic Games, filed a motion asking a federal judge to order its return as part of a civil contempt of court finding issued against Apple late last month. Last week, the game went dark on Apple devices the world over, and it remains unavailable on them in many countries. In a brief statement filed in court late on Tuesday, Apple said the dispute that had been keeping Fortnite off its iOS software for the iPhone had been resolved. The Cupertino, California, company did not immediately respond to a request for further comment. The legal wrangling is all part of a bitter feud that is still boiling. Epic filed a lawsuit alleging Apple had turned its app store into an illegal monopoly – a claim that it lost under a 2021 ruling made by a federal judge after a month-long trial. Although she decided Apple was not breaking antitrust laws, US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ordered the company to loosen control over in-app payments and allow links to other options that might offer lower prices. After exhausting an appeal that went all the way to the US supreme court, Apple last year introduced a new system that opened the door for links to alternative payment options while still imposing a 27% commission on in-app transactions executed outside its own system. Epic fired back by alleging Apple was thumbing its nose at the legal system, reviving another round of court hearings that lasted nearly a year before Gonzalez Rogers delivered her stinging rebuke that included a ban on collecting any kind of commission on alternative payment options. Sign up to TechScape A weekly dive in to how technology is shaping our lives after newsletter promotion That appeared to clear the way for Fortnite's return to the iPhone and iPad, but Epic last week said the video game was still being blocked by Apple. After Apple contended that keeping Fortnite was still permissible while it pursues an appeal of Gonzalez Rogers's contempt ruling, Epic forced the issue by asking the judge for another order that would make clear the video game should be allowed back on the iPhone and iPad. Gonzalez Rogers on Monday asked why Apple was still blocking Fortnite without an order from the appeals court authorizing that action. She scheduled a 27 May hearing in Oakland, California, to hear Epic's latest motion while noting 'Apple is fully capable of resolving this issue without further briefing or a hearing.'
