Speaking of the case between Apple and Epic, the latter hasn’t witnessed a taste of success so far. More than that, all the efforts of bringing back Fortnite on iOS have been in vain. And that’s quite obvious given the fact that the relationship between the two parties seems to have completely soured over time.

But still, there are fans who haven’t lost all their hope. They are expecting a return of the battle royale someday on iOS. However, it’s easier said than done, at least as of now.

Is Fortnite coming back to Apple’s App Store on iOS?

To answer it simply, there’s no clear answer to this million-dollar question at the moment. Both Apple and Epic Games have been fighting it out to prove each other wrong in the courtroom.

However, it doesn’t mean that Fortnite won’t arrive again at the App Store. In fact, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has time and again reiterated that they want the battle royale to return on iOS. But according to them, it can only happen when, and if, Apple allows the developer to offer in-app payment in fair competition with the iPhone maker’s own in-app payment system.

It may happen, in the coming months or near future, that Apple will eventually allow Epic Games to make its battle royale available once again on iOS. But such an outcome will surely take longer duration than expected. As of now, sadly, there’s no way Fortnite is looking to come back to the App Store.

Luckily, though, interested fans can still enjoy it on their iOS devices, thanks to Cloud Gaming. It allows the users to try out the game on the Safari browser. Then there’s another good option in NVIDIA, which fulfills the same purpose.
