This is the best summary I could come up with:
Four years after leaving iOS, Fortnite is coming back — but only European players will be dropping in this time.
The endless beef between Epic Games and Apple over the company’s App Store fees took its most recent surprise turn on Thursday when the iPhone maker announced changes coming to iOS in the EU.
In an effort to comply with the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a set of pro-competition rules implemented to regulate six of the biggest tech companies, Apple will begin allowing apps to be “sideloaded” — installed from sources beyond the App Store’s walled garden.
In light of the changes, Epic plans to bring Fortnite, the hit battle royale game — now evolving into its own sort of digital marketplace — back to iOS this year.
Apple’s App Store overhaul in the EU is a major departure from the status quo, but Epic Games isn’t happy with the details of how the iPhone maker will implement its DMA compliance.
Fortnite now offers thousands of user-generated games alongside its classic battle royale, including a new trio of flashy new titles developed by Epic itself that offer survival, racing, and rhythm gaming alternatives to Fortnite’s battle royale mode.
