It’s been four years since players worldwide were locked out of Fortnite on iOS after Apple blocked Epic Games from the App Store. Now, Epic Games has its own app store available for iOS in some countries. But why isn’t it available for everyone? We explain.

Epic Games has only released its app store on iOS in the European Union due to the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which aims to implement a fairer space in the digital market and allow competition. That means Apple has to allow other app stores on their devices, but only countries that are part of the European Union can download and install the Epic Games Store mobile app and play Fortnite on an iPhone.
You won’t find Fortnite or the Epic Games Store app in Apple’s app store. The Epic Games Store app is a third-party storefront where you can download Fortnite Chapter Five, LEGO Fortnite, Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and creator-made islands built with UEFN, plus Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe.
If you live in another country or even the UK, you still can’t install the Epic Games Store mobile app due to Apple’s block.
