The clash between Apple and Epic Games has been going on for two and a half years now. Remember that the Cupertino company banned the game Fortnite from the App Store after its publisher decided to circumvent the 30% billing for in-app transactions required by the Tech giant.
Reconciliation impossible between Apple and Epic Games?
Next year on iOS!
— Tim Sweeney (@TimSweeneyEpic)December 31, 2022
Since then, it is no longer possible to play this title through the App Store. However, there are some workaround possibilities, includingvia Xbox Cloud Gaming, store authorized by the apple brand.
However, Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games promised to an Internet user on Twitter on December 31, Fortnite will make its return to iOS and iPadOS in 2023. The manager does not, however, provide more details on this subject.
So how would this be possible? It is indeed difficult to imagine a reconciliation between Epic Games and Apple in the short term. During an interview that we told you about last December, Tim Sweeney did not hesitate to use very harsh words towards his rival, even promisingto go to the Supreme Courtto win your case.
A European alternative for Fornite
But there is another alternative. Epic could indeed benefit from the new European regulations which will force Apple to authorize new application stores on iPhone and iPad.
This text should come into force by the end of 2023, which corresponds to the timing mentioned by Tim Sweeney. Unless there is resistance from Apple, or a delay in the application of this measure, Fortnite would then be back on iOS and iPadOS.
