Today, on May 21, Epic Games announced that its popular game "Fortnite" has officially returned to the US server Apple Store App Store, and will also be launched on the European server later, indicating that the complex disputes between the two giants in the past five years have come to an end, but it is not ruled out that there is still a possibility of exit.

·In 2020, Epic Games directly removed "Fortnite" from the App Store because it was extremely dissatisfied with the handling fees and consumption expenditure methods of the Apple Store.

·Until April 2025, the US court made a judgment on Apple, determining that it prohibited the charge of handling fees for payments outside the App. In principle, players are never encouraged to induce money to spend outside the App.

· Interesting things have come. On May 16, Epic Games seems to want to make peace. It submitted an application for the IOS version of Fortnite to Apple, but it was locked and placed by Apple, resulting in Epic official statement that the possibility of Fortnite officially returning to the US server, Apple store and European server has almost become zero.

·After that Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney filed a motion to be treated by Apple (non-notarized) with the court, and obtained support, and the court ordered Apple to resolve this "trouble" as soon as possible.

·No matter what, after twists and turns, "Fortnite" finally returned to the US server Apple store. Tim Sweeney posted a message to thank all sectors of society for their support, so that "the legitimate rights and interests of developers and consumers are protected!"
