Fortnite is back on the US iOS App Store after a nearly five-year absence. Epic Games' legal battle with Apple resulted in a court ruling forcing Apple to allow purchases outside its in-app system. Following this, Epic resubmitted Fortnite, and Apple approved it, reversing its earlier block. The game's return coincides with a new Epic Games promotion offering 20% back on purchases made through their system, and a new Star Wars-themed season. While initially blocked, a judge's intervention prompted Apple to resolve the issue.
