If you missed the news from a few years ago, <em>Fortnite<\/em> was <a href=\"https:\/\/toucharcade.com\/2020\/08\/13\/apple-pulls-fortnite-from-the-app-store\/\">pulled from iOS<\/a> back in 2020, and it led to many things. Epic sued Apple, we had tons of console-related information revealed during the lawsuit, and more. Fast forward to now, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EpicNewsroom\/status\/1758516979705557241?s=20\">Epic announced<\/a> that it had secured a developer account and planned to bring the Epic Games Store to iOS. This was announced because Apple finally had to allow third-party app stores on iOS in the EU after the new Digital Markets Act regulation. Today, Epic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epicgames.com\/site\/en-US\/news\/apple-terminated-epic-s-developer-account\">has announced<\/a> (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/3\/6\/24092158\/epic-apple-developer-account-terminated-digital-markets-act-alternative-ios-app-store\">The Verge<\/a>) that Apple <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EpicNewsroom\/status\/1765416594141028825\">has terminated<\/a> its developer account so it cannot develop the Epic Games Store for iOS.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.toucharcade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/epic-games-store-main.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-320009\" srcset=\"\/\/cdn.toucharcade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/epic-games-store-main.jpg 1920w, \/\/cdn.toucharcade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/epic-games-store-main-300x169.jpg 300w, \/\/cdn.toucharcade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/epic-games-store-main-768x432.jpg 768w, \/\/cdn.toucharcade.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/epic-games-store-main-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Apple called Epic &#8220;verifiably untrustworthy&#8221; as shown in a letter sent by Apple&#8217;s lawyers to Epic. Apple doesn&#8217;t think Epic will comply with the contractual commitments under the developer agreement. Apple originally terminated Epic&#8217;s developer agreement <a href=\"https:\/\/toucharcade.com\/2020\/08\/17\/apple-terminate-epic-developer-agreement\/\">back in 2020<\/a> which meant <em>Fortnite<\/em> and more wouldn&#8217;t be on iOS. Epic has a few games and apps on iOS through other partners or its other companies like <em>Horizon Chase 2<\/em> and <em>Wonderbox<\/em> on Apple Arcade from Aquiris (now known as Epic Games Brazil). It is going to be interesting to see how this plays out, and I imagine we will not be seeing <em>Fortnite<\/em> on iOS anytime soon. It did return <a href=\"https:\/\/toucharcade.com\/2022\/05\/05\/fortnite-iphone-ipad-android-pc-xbox-cloud-gaming\/\">through Xbox Cloud Gaming before<\/a>.
