Epic Games says it will bring Fortnite to iPad after EU dubs iPadOS a ‘gatekeeper’ under DMA


Whether or not Epic Games will be able to bring Fortnite to the iPhone and iPad as planned still remains to be seen.

On the heels of the EU’s decision to designate Apple’s iPadOS as another digital “gatekeeper ” under its Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulation, Fortnite maker Epic Games confirmed it will bring its popular battle royale game to the iPad later this year. Though Apple largely won that case, as the court ruled the tech giant was not a monopoly, it did have to allow developers to direct their customers to other ways to pay from inside their apps — a point for Epic that had a wider impact across the developer community. Whether or not Epic Games will be able to bring Fortnite to the iPhone and iPad as planned still remains to be seen, given Apple’s responses so far.
