Fortnite Returns to iOS in the EU with the Epic Games Launcher
Bringing Fortnite Back to iOS in the EU
In a significant move, Fortnite is finally making its way back to iOS devices in the European Union (EU). This development comes after Epic Games launched its Epic Games Store on iPhones and iPads in the EU, bringing the popular game back to the platform after a two-year absence.
How to Download Fortnite on iOS
To download Fortnite on your iOS device, follow these steps:
- Install the Epic Games Launcher from the Apple App Store.
- Launch the Launcher and sign in to your Epic Games account.
- Click on the Fortnite icon in the Launcher.
- Select "Install" and follow the on-screen instructions.
Cross-Play and Cross-Progression
In partnership with Sony, Fortnite Battle Royale will support cross-play and cross-progression between iOS, Android, and other platforms. This means that players can team up and play with friends regardless of their device.
EU Legislation Drives Return
The return of Fortnite to iOS in the EU is a result of new legislation in the region that aims to promote fair competition and reduce the dominance of large tech companies. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) requires Apple to allow third-party app stores and payment systems on its devices.
Epic Games Store on iOS
The Epic Games Store is free to install on iOS devices and offers a curated selection of games, including Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe. The store allows players to purchase and download games directly without having to go through the Apple App Store.
