Less than four years ago, Fortnite was removed from the App Store and Google Play for attempting to bypass Apple and Google’s payment systems to make in-game purchases using V-Bucks. The game studio began a lengthy legal journey against Apple and Google that has led us to today’s official launch of the Epic Games Store on iOS and Android.
Fortnite is officially returning to mobile for Android users worldwide and iOS users in the EU. It is also joined by Rocket League Sideswipe and Fall Guys, with the latter officially making its mobile debut. You’ll need an iPhone running iOS 17.6, while Android system requirements are Android 7.0 or later. The download is 25MB in size. Epic has confirmed that Fortnite and Fall Guys will feature full cross-platform account progression and functionality.
The tide is turning, and the mobile ecosystem is finally opening up to competition. We are grateful to the European Commission for making it possible to launch the Epic Games Store and offer our games to iOS users in the European Union. Now, European iOS users and all Android users can access our store and games just as they have always been able to on open platforms like PC and Mac. The fight is far from over, but this is tangible progress for developers and consumers who can start to benefit from competition and choice.” – Tim Sweeney, CEO and Founder of Epic Games
