Epic Games has been waging a war against Apple for over 2 years. The company behind Fortnite indeed judges that the giant with the bitten apple maintains an unwelcome monopoly, in addition to levying too high a tax on transactions made on the App Store. Remonstrances that turned into a thunderous lawsuit in 2021. Epic, which removed its famous Fortnite from the App Store, could still bring it back in 2023… thanks to a good resolution?
Fortnite on iOS, the return
Would Tim Sweeney, the big boss of Epic Games, have taken it as a good resolution to bring the famous Fortnite back to iOS platforms? This is in any case what suggests an image published on its official Twitter account where we see Fortnite with a “2023” in the sky, commented by a “next year on iOS” by the one who is beaten against Apple for many months. Is the famous Battle Royal about to return to apple platforms?
While the Epic Game Store was denied its application on Apple platforms, the tone did not seem to be going well between the two giants. Sweeney’s ally could be on the side of Europe, with the European rules related to competition which could soon evolve in order to prohibit the monopoly on application installers. This means that third-party app stores could launch their ecosystems on iOS soon. Regarding the timing, the date of 2024 was whispered before Bloomberg mentioned 2023. After having partitioned its service, Apple could be forced to open it for good. In any case, this is what Tim Sweeney believes in, confident enough to embark on the art of teasing at New Year’s Eve.
