fortnite is back on apple devices

The famous video game Fortnite is preparing for the long-awaited return to the iPhone and iPad smartphone devices produced by the American electronics giant Apple, after its disappearance from these devices as a result of its removal from the App Store, claiming that the company that issued the game violated the rules of Apple.

Apple removed Fortnite from its online store in August 2020, after its developer, Epic Games, attempted to evade the fees that Apple receives in exchange for downloading the game from the App Store.

Alternative solution

But thanks to an alternative solution, a new version of the game Fortnite will be released this week, compatible with the iOS operating system for Apple devices, where the game can be played using touch-screen controls, through the direct play service GeForce Now.

At the same time, playing the game on Apple devices will be available to a limited number of users initially as a trial period.

It is noteworthy that Nvidia’s GeForce Now service is one of several direct game services that have appeared in recent years, and allows users to play games on their devices screen while playing the game itself is online and not on a gaming device or PC.

And last September, Apple extended the removal of the game Fortnite from its online store, until the appeal in its legal battle with Epic Games, the developer of the most famous battle game in the world, is carried out.

Apple told Epic that Fortnite will be blacklisted on the App Store system until all degrees of litigation are exhausted, a process that could take up to five years.

It is noteworthy that last August, APIC filed a lawsuit against Apple after the latter’s decision to delete the game Fortnite from the App Store, claiming that APIC defrauded the App Store system, which ensures that Apple receives a commission in exchange for the revenue that APIC earns from the game Fortnite. .
