Following a court ruling that found Apple in willful violation of a 2021 injunction, Fortnite is returning to the US iOS App Store next week. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated Apple's anticompetitive practices, including a 30% commission on in-app purchases, would not be tolerated. Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney announced the return, emphasizing the victory for developers who can now offer alternative payment methods without Apple's fees. While celebrating this US win, Sweeney proposed a worldwide agreement with Apple to end all related litigation and bring Fortnite back to the App Store globally.
