Apple and Epic Games had previously met in court to settle one of the most significant antitrust cases in the history of the tech industry. The lawsuit has been going on for nearly a year, after Apple pulled Fortnite from the App Store in August 2020. Epic had given Fortnite players on iOS and Google Play the choice between Apple or Google payment and Epic direct payment , passing the savings on to direct buyers. Apple and Google retaliated by blocking Fortnite updates, followed by Apple threatening to block Epic from making software for all Apple devices, including Unreal Engine.
However, recently, many popular Fortnite YouTubers like Ali-A and Saunders Tech uploaded clips showing the possibility of Fortnite returning to iOS, followed instinctively by a small update that gripped the Fortnite iOS community. . Ali-A also talked about a Season 5 trailer video that recently surfaced on Twitter in detail.
Apple has asked Epic to return to Fortnite to use Apple Payments exclusively. Their proposal was an invitation for Epic to come to terms with Apple to maintain its monopoly on in-app payments on iOS, removing free market competition and inflating prices. Although Apple says Epic is causing its own problems and could revert to the App Store if it simply removes the offending payment system. Epic's Sweeney says he's standing up for all developers on Apple's platform.
So while Apple refuses to allow Fortnite to do so and EPIC abides by Apple's payment policies, all may not be the same.
