As Fortnite returns to mobile, Tim Sweeney says Epic Games "probably lost over a billion dollars of revenue" as a result of the battle royale being blocked from iPhone 4 years ago

Fortnite is finally returning to iPhone today, four years after the game was pulled off of iOS – collateral in Epic Games' ongoing battle against manufacturers like Apple and Google over its ecosystems which, the publisher alleges, throttle competition. There's been public arguments, legal filings, court battles – it's all a little messy. But what you really need to know is that the Epic Games Store is coming to mobile devices, albeit with some pretty large caveats. 

The Epic Games Store is launching with Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and a brand new mobile version of Fall Guys – complete with crossplay support. The storefront and the games will be available in Europe on iOS and worldwide for Android users, but Apple owners in the US and UK are going to have to wait a little longer to play some of the biggest games in the world on the go.
