Epic has submitted Fortnite to the US App Store


Epic has officially submitted Fortnite to the US Apple App Store. This is all happening after a recent ruling forced Apple to allow for payment options in which they don’t collect a fee.

Additionally, Epic announced the formation of standalone webshops, offering another way for devs to avoid Apple’s exorbitant App Store fees. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has stated that the company would return the game to the App Store worldwide, so long as Apple extends the court’s ruling across the globe. Epic responded to this move by calling it a "last ditch effort to block competition and extract massive junk fees at the expense of consumers and developers."
