Fortnite Mobile iOS is OFFICIALLY BACK! (How to Download, Gameplay & More)
Epic Games announced its return last week, along with “Fall Guys” and “Rocket League Sideswipe,” to iOS users in Europe and Android users worldwide, after multiple legal battles erupted after its apps were removed from Apple and Google’s app stores for circumventing their in-app purchase systems. Epic is still fighting Apple’s ban in the U.S.
