Epic Games has officially submitted Fortnite to the US App Store. This step could allow the popular battle royale game to return to iPhones and iPads after being unavailable for several years.

Fortnite was removed from the App Store in 2020. The removal happened after Epic Games introduced its own payment system in the app, which violated Apple’s rules. This led to a lengthy legal battle between the two companies.

Epic’s submission of Fortnite to the App Store signals a possible change in the ongoing dispute. However, Apple has not yet approved the app. It is still uncertain when or if Fortnite will be available for download on iOS devices again.

The return of Fortnite to the App Store would be significant for both Epic and mobile gamers. Many players have been waiting for the game’s comeback on iPhones and iPads. For now, users will have to wait for Apple’s decision on the submission.
