As of 2024, we don’t have any information on Fortnite coming back to the Apple App Store. However, in Europe, Epic Games is planning to launch its Epic Games Store on Apple devices (iPhones and iPads) with the help of the European Commission. Even this move was hindered by Apple banning Epic Games’ developer account but the latter had to revert the decision due to the European Commission’s interference.
