Fortnite, the popular battle royale game, has finally made its way back to the Apple App Store. This return comes after a significant legal battle between Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, and Apple.

The dispute began when Epic Games introduced a direct payment system in Fortnite, bypassing Apple's in-app purchase fees. This move led Apple to remove Fortnite from the App Store.

A court ruling later allowed Epic Games to relist Fortnite on the App Store. This decision was a result of ongoing legal negotiations and changes in Apple's policies.

Now, users can download Fortnite directly from the App Store, making it easier for players to access the game on their iOS devices.
