Apple officially rejects Fortnite mobile App Store submission as Epic Games pulls game from platform worldwide

Fortnite V-Bucks.

Just last night we reported on Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney’s statement that Apple had neither approved nor rejected the company’s popular Fortnite mobile game for the iOS & iPadOS App Store after a resubmission following a United States-based court order that ruled Apple needed to allow third-party payment options in apps rather than going through the App Store and collecting the 15-30% Apple tax for every transaction.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you probably know by now that Apple ejected the popular Fortnite video game from the App Store in 2020 after game developer Epic Games introduced an in-app payment system to the game that tried to circumvent Apple’s App Store policies. This resulted in an epic legal battle between the two companies that has raged on for years.
