Fortnite was removed from the iOS App Store in 2020 due to a legal dispute between Epic Games and Apple. Since then, iOS users have been wondering when the popular battle royale game will return.
In a cryptic New Year’s tweet, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney hinted that Fortnite could come back to iOS devices in 2023. However, as the year comes to an end, there is still no confirmation on if or when iOS users will be able to download Fortnite again.
Some speculate that Sweeney actually meant 2024 in his tweet. But for now, both Apple and Epic have remained silent, suggesting there are still legal issues to resolve before the game can be reinstated.
iOS users can access Fortnite through cloud gaming services like Amazon Luna, GeForce Now, and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
These require a paid subscription but allow progress and purchases to carry over from your Epic account. You can also connect controllers like the DualShock 4 to play on your iPhone or iPad.
So while fans are still hopeful, Fortnite’s return date for iOS continues to remain a mystery. For further updates, stay tuned as we report the latest news on this ongoing saga.
