Fortnite players on Samsung believe they\u2019re owed free Ikonik skin Epic Games\/SamsungEpic Games has pulled Fortnite off of the Samsung app store in protest of a new policy blocking side-loading apps on the devices. Now Samsung users are demanding the Ikonik skin from Epic Games for free since they believe they\u2019re entitled. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney revealed that the publisher has now pulled off Fortnite from the Samsung Galaxy store in protest of the manufacturer\u2019s new feature called Auto Blocker that automatically declines installation of third-party apps on Samsung phones. According to Sweeney, it obstructs users \u201cfrom installing competing stores\u201d, which he claims is unfair. Since Epic has been fighting legally with Apple and Google to force them to enable app sideloading and third-party app stores, the move by Samsung causes another hurdle in bringing Fortnite to mobile devices. As a result, Samsung users who have used free cosmetics ever since Fortnite first launched on mobile believe they are entitled to a free rare Ikonik skin. To those unaware, Ikonik was a free cosmetic skin that was rewarded to users of the Samsung Galaxy S10+ who installed Fortnite through the Galaxy Store and then claimed the free skin. It\u2019s been 5 years now and the outfit is one of the rarest Fortnite skins out there. Players who missed out on the opportunity and are playing Fortnite on a Samsung device are demanding the publisher reward them the outfit for free as part of hazard pay that\u2019s preventing them from installing any future game updates from the Galaxy Store. One such player said: \u201cNew free Fortnite skin incoming.\u201d Another wrote: \u201cIkonik time!\u201d A third commented: \u201cI personally love the Ikonik skin and emote and would totally use that but I never got the chance to get it due to it being from before I used to play.\u201d Since it\u2019s quite unlikely that such a rare skin as Ikonik will make a comeback, those who are playing Fortnite from the Galaxy Store are keeping their hopes up for a free reward in the coming weeks. However, it remains to be seen if it\u2019ll happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
