Fortnite Returns to Mobile Phones in Europe After a 4-Year Absence

After a 4-year absence, the game "Fortnite," considered one of the most popular video games in the world since 2017, has returned to mobile phones in the European Union. The developer of the game, "Epic Games," announced the launch of its app store for Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems. According to the British news agency (PA Media), this store is one of the first third-party stores accessible on iPhones and features other popular games such as "Rocket League Sideswipe" and "Fall Guys."

This move marks a new chapter in the long-standing conflict between "Epic Games" and tech giants over control of app stores and associated fees. The crisis began in 2020 when "Fortnite" was removed from Apple and Google stores due to disagreements over commission fees, leading to a series of legal and regulatory battles. The game falls under the survival genre where players compete, either individually or in teams, in thrilling battles on a virtual island until only one player or team remains alive. "Fortnite" gained significant fame due to its appealing design, cross-platform playability, and ongoing updates that introduce new elements and keep players always ready for more.
