Fortnite Returns to Apple's US App Store After Nearly Five-Year Ban Amid Legal Reforms

Epic Games' Fortnite has reappeared on Apple's U.S. App Store after a nearly five-year absence due to a legal dispute over in-app payment policies. The game's removal in 2020 stemmed from Epic's attempt to bypass Apple's 30% commission. A recent U.S. court ruling found Apple in breach of earlier orders to allow competition, prompting the game's return. This development may influence future app store regulations and developer-platform relationships.
