Fortnite Mobile Accepted for Europe and UK
On July 5, Epic Games officially submitted Fortnite Mobile for a return on iOS in the UK and Europe. Initially, Apple rejected the submission, causing disappointment for mobile players. However, the rejection was swiftly overturned, with Epic eventually gaining approval for the return of the app, as reported by leaker HYPEX.
This milestone signifies a positive step towards making the mobile version accessible on iPhones and iPads globally. Speculation had been rife about the game’s return, particularly after leaks suggested Epic was aligning V-bucks with Apple devices.
Since its removal in 2020, Fortnite has been absent from iOS devices, but this hiatus is now coming to an end.
This update is currently specific to the UK and Europe, but it holds significance for players worldwide. With Epic Games and Apple seemingly resolving their disputes, the possibility of bringing Fortnite back to all mobile devices is on the horizon.
While the UK and Europe are the initial focus, it is highly probable that other regions, including the United States, will see the app return to the App Store soon. The prolonged conflict between Epic Games and Apple appears to be nearing a resolution, offering hope to those who have missed out on the game and its epic collaborations.
Although no specific timeline has been provided, the eventual return of Fortnite Mobile is on the horizon.
