#FreeFortnite

Apple has blocked Fortnite from the App Store, removing everyone’s ability to install and update the game on iOS devices, while instructing Epic to “remove the ‘Epic direct payment’ feature”. Apple is keeping prices high so they can collect 30% of your payments, and is blocking Fortnite in order to prevent Epic from passing on the savings from direct payments to you!

Epic has taken legal action to end Apple’s anti-competitive restrictions on mobile device marketplaces. The papers are available here.
 

Fortnite remains available on Google Play, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac, GeForce Now, and the Epic Games app on Android. Your account, progression, and purchases also remain available on these platforms.

Because Apple has BLOCKED your ability to update, when Fortnite Chapter 2 - Season 4 releases you will NOT be able to play the new Season on iOS. Make your voice heard with #FreeFortnite

Will there be any account issues if I continue to play Fortnite’s 13.40 update on my iOS device while also playing subsequent updates on other devices?

If you already downloaded Fortnite via the App Store, you should have no issues continuing to play Chapter 2 - Season 3’s 13.40 update -- whether you’re only playing on mobile devices or also playing the latest version of Fortnite on other devices.

Once Chapter 2 - Season 4 begins, players accessing Fortnite will still be able to play the 13.40 version of Fortnite, but will not be able to access any new content or the new Battle Pass.

How do I get a refund if I’ve spent money on Fortnite and can’t access my purchases because of the Apple blockade?

Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t allow Epic Games to directly refund players for iOS purchases and instead requires players to ask Apple for a refund. Please follow these instructions to ask Apple for a refund: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204084

Why doesn’t Epic capitulate to Apple’s demand to remove Epic direct payment?

Epic believes that you have a right to save money thanks to using more efficient, new purchase options. Apple’s rules add a 30% tax on all of your purchases, and they punish game developers like us who offer direct payment options.
