HIT game “Fortnite” was unavailable on Apple’s digital App Store around the world on Friday, in the latest episode of a battle between the tech titan and publisher Epic Games.
While Fortnite with its millions of daily players was already unavailable to iPhone users in the United States, the block on downloads of the cartoonish multiplayer shooter now affects the entire globe.
“Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission… sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it,” Epic posted on X.
Apple told AFP it had asked Epic in Sweden to resubmit its app update “without including the US storefront of the App Store so as not to impact Fortnite in other geographies”.
“We did not take any action to remove the live version of Fortnite from alternative distribution marketplaces,” an Apple spokesperson said.
