Fortnite Team Claims Apple Blocked The Submission To The App Store

Fortnite FTC Refunds Process

The drama between Epic Games and Apple continues, and of course, it’s fans of Fortnite fans who are suffering. You might have thought the whole ordeal around Epic’s popular battle royale being available to players via the iOS App Store had been settled when, following a judge’s ruling, Tim Sweeney announced that the game would be making a return to the App Store.

Since then, there have been several updates from Sweeney as to what’s happening. First, he announced that the company would have to use the Sweden account it created last year to submit the game to the US account. Then, most recently, he revealed that Epic had to resubmit the game as the process was taking so long on Apple’s end that the game had been updated, and, reasonably, Epic wants the game to be consistent across all platforms.

Now there’s a new twist, as according to a tweet from the Fortnite account, Apple’s blocked the game’s submission, and as a result, the game can’t be released on the US App Store. Nor can it be released on the Epic Games Store for iOS in the EU. The end result is that fans are back where they were, and Fortnite is simply not available on iOS anywhere.

It didn’t take long for Apple to respond to the statement from Fortnite. According to a tweet from Bloomberg Managing Editor Mark Gurman, Apple stated that they’d asked Epic Sweden to resubmit the update without including the US storefront so as not to impact the game elsewhere. The statement also added that no action had been taken to remove Fortnite from “alternative distribution marketplaces”.
