Fortnite's Return to iPhone Imminent, Says Epic Games CEO
May 12, 2025 - 21:34
In a recent statement, Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games, expressed optimism regarding the return of Fortnite to iPhone users in the United States. According to Sweeney, the popular battle royale game could be available on Apple's platform "within the week." This announcement has sparked excitement among the game's dedicated fanbase, who have been eagerly awaiting its re-launch on iOS devices.
Fortnite was removed from the App Store in August 2020 due to a legal dispute between Epic Games and Apple over app store policies and payment systems. Since then, players have been unable to access the game on their iPhones, leading to frustrations and a significant loss of player engagement on the mobile platform.
Sweeney's comments suggest that negotiations or technical hurdles may have been resolved, paving the way for Fortnite's return. As the gaming community watches closely, the potential revival of Fortnite on iPhone could reignite interest and activity in the game, bringing back millions of players to the mobile battlefield.
