From PC Mag: Apple has officially reinstated Fortnite on the US App Store, allowing you to download it to your iPhone or iPad for the first time in over four years. Epic Games also revived the game in markets like Europe after it had to pull the game last week.
Fortnite has been at the center of a legal battle between the two companies. Epic Games has been fighting to avoid the 30% tax Apple takes on revenue made from in-app purchases. In 2020, Epic Games tried to circumvent Apple's rules, which led to Fortnite being removed from the App Store. The developer then sued Apple.
In late April, Apple was forced to change its rules on the App Store and allow developers to include alternative payment options in the US for the first time. Since then, we've seen changes to apps from Amazon, Spotify, and more.
Epic Games is the latest to change, and those who use Epic's payment method will get 20% cashback on that purchase through the company's Rewards program. Epic Games said, "You can spend your rewards in Fortnite and our other games, or on the Epic Games Store when you use Epic’s payment system."
