Fortnite and the Epic Games Store
Epic says Fortnite and the Epic Games Store will be coming to iOS in Australia, following a court ruling that found Apple‘s app distribution and payment policies to be anti-competitive. It’s unclear when, exactly.
Epic has previously said that it’ll be bringing its store and flagship game to Brazil and Japan later this year, but Epic’s plan to release its store and Fortnite on iOS in the UK is less certain. The firm said in July that it won’t be coming this year and may not ever materialise after the UK’s competition authority revised some of its plans.
