Recent court rulings have opened the door for Fortnite to come back to iOS, but whether Apple lets it back in is another story.
A US judge recently ordered Apple to allow third party payment methods in iOS apps, opening the door for Epic Games Store on Apple devices.
The judge in the case states that Apple chose the 'most anticompetitive option' at every opportunity.
After almost five years since being removed from the iOS App, Fortnite is coming back.
The mobile Rocket League spinoff is unavailable to download or update on iOS through the Epic Games Store and Tim Sweeney says Epic Games doesn't know why.
Sweeney shared that Epic 'might run into serious financial problems after a couple more decades,' but is committed to 'investing to break through.'
The decision was made in Epic Games' case against Google, opening the way for Epic Games Store on Android devices in North America.
Epic Games Store general manager Steve Allison also said the Free Games program is coming to the mobile app.
Unfortunately, while the Epic Games Store app is available worldwide on Android, the iOS version is confined to EU regions at the moment.
Tim Sweeney claimed another victory over Apple's attempts to keep Fortnite off iOS with Japan and UK joining the regions on which Fortnite can be played next year.
