On January 30, Fortnite will launch an update of its application on iOS and macOS. The game has been banned from app stores since August 2020, but those who were already playing previous versions can still launch it.
Fortnite perd ses V-Bucks sur iOS
However, things will get tough next week. In fact, only players over 18 will be able to access the Epic Games game. Likewise, it will no longer be possible to use V-Bucks, the game's virtual currency, to purchase season passes and various virtual items that can be used during games.
Suffice to say that Fortnite will lose a lot in the change, and some are already wondering if in the long term this old version of the game will no longer be supported at all.
Epic Games has not said its last word
However, Epic Games continues to struggle against Apple. Its CEO, Tim Sweeney, also made a mysterious statement on Twitter at the end of last year promising that Fortnitewill be back on iOS in 2023.
He did not say more, but speculation is already rife on the subject. We can indeed think that Epic Games hopes to take advantage of the new European regulations which will force Apple to authorize alternative stores to the App Store. The text must be adopted by the end of 2023, and if it is really applied, the future of Fortnite on iOS would then be clear.
Determined, Tim Sweeney even promisedto go to the Supreme Courtto win the legal fight between it and the Cupertino company. To better understand the clash between Epic Games and Apple, you can always reread our old articleici.
