Epic Games has another opportunity to bring the popular platform game Fortnite back to iOS devices
Maneuvers with alternative payments in Fortnite ended in the exclusion of the game from the App Store. However, Epic Games is not giving up, and a few years later the opportunity to make a triumphant comeback has arisen – a change in UK legislation will help with this.
Parliament passed the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act (Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act).
According to the government, this law could “give consumers the ability to freely choose the services they use or prevent companies from hiding information that consumers need.” to make the right decisions.”
It also notes that the law gives the CMA the power to “intervene and direct companies to change their behavior in order to increase competition – whether for the benefit of people who use smartphones or businesses , depending on cloud services“.
Observers compare this law with the previously adopted EU Digital Markets Act – as a result, Apple allowed Third-party app stores on iOS devices in the EU.
Epic Games is set to launch an EGS store with Fortnite on iOS, expected in the UK “in the second half of 2025”.< /p>
