Epic Games, the developer behind the popular video game Fortnite, has initiated legal proceedings to restore the game on iOS devices in the United States. This move follows a recent court decision that mandates Apple to permit the use of third-party payment processors for in-app purchases on its iOS platform. Tim Sweeney, CEO and founder of Epic Games, announced the company's intention to make Fortnite available again on iOS, emphasizing compliance with the new legal requirements. Previously, Fortnite was removed from the Apple App Store in August 2020 after Epic implemented its own payment system in violation of Apple's policies, leading to a high-profile legal dispute. The latest court ruling is seen as a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Epic and Apple, with potential implications for app developers and digital marketplaces. The game has also been taken offline in Europe amid related legal disputes.
