Apple Reinstates Fortnite in App Store After Nearly Five Years

Apple has reinstated the popular game Fortnite in the App Store nearly five years after removing it, following a partially resolved legal battle on Tuesday, May 21, 2025. The conflict pitted Apple against Epic Games, the publisher of Fortnite, over App Store policies. The game was initially removed due to violations of App Store rules, particularly regarding commissions on in-app purchases. The court decision allowed Fortnite to return to the platform, marking a significant milestone in this prolonged dispute.
