Fortnite officially returned to the Apple App Store in the United States on May 20, 2025, after nearly a five-year absence. The game was removed in 2020 due to a dispute between Epic Games and Apple over in-app payment policies. Following a favorable court ruling against Apple and subsequent legal developments, Fortnite was approved and re-listed on the U.S. App Store starting on that date. Players can now download and play Fortnite again on iPhones and iPads in the U.S., as well as via the Epic Games Store and AltStore within the European Union. This return ended a prolonged legal battle and marked a significant win for Epic Games regarding Apple's App Store policies.
