Do you want to play Fortnite on iOS again? You will probably have to wait this long

Until you can download Fortnite again via the App Store on iOS, it probably won’t be until 2021. In the dispute between Apple and Epic Games, there is a new interim status in October 2020.

In the major dispute between Apple and Fortnite developer Epic Games, there is a new decision. It sounds like it will take months before you can download Fortnite again via the App Store on iOS – if at all.

This is what has happened so far:

What’s new now: Epic wanted to push for Apple to reinstate Fortnite in the App Store during the ongoing case.

On Friday, October 9, Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers denied Epic Games’ temporary restraining order against Apple (via TheVerge). Apple is not required to reinstate Fortnite in the App Store.

What does this mean for you?

For now, you will not be able to download Fortnite normally again through the App Store. As long as Epic Games does not decide to offer the sales of V-Bucks again as before and pay the fee to the App Store, this will not change.

When can Fortnite be downloaded again on iOS in the App Store? The process is not expected to begin before May 3, 2021. So from today, that would be about 7 months away.

Currently, it is assumed that you can download Fortnite via the App Store to your iPhone or other Apple devices at the earliest on this date.
