Players who have Fortnite downloaded on their iOS devices are still able to play the game without any issues. The problem lies in the future days following the lawsuit, like today, where players are barred from any content released after Fortnite’s removal.
Fortnite’s Season 3 on repeat for almost an entire year
Epic Games states the following that addresses the problem:
This means that Fortnite players won’t be able to access the updates to Fortnite, including the alien invasion that came with Season 7, until further notice.
Apple decided to cut all updates out of the App Store for Fortnite because Epic Games lowered prices for in-game products through direct pay. Apple takes major cuts from partnering companies, thus disliking the pay cuts that meant they made less as well.
The lawsuit seems to be nearing its conclusion this summer, but the judge leans slightly towards Apple, seeing Epic Games’ decision for pay cuts as unjust. The temporary ban on Fortnite in the App Store was denied, furthering Apple’s position.
It’s unclear what will happen when the lawsuit plays out, but Fortnite players on iOS may be able to see the content they’re missing in the future. Until then, players will have to keep battling it out in Chapter 2 Season 3, without the latest additions.
