Fortnite returns to iOS, but there\u2019s a catch Epic GamesEpic Games and Microsoft have entered into a partnership that bypasses the Apple ban and allows Fortnite to return to iOS. Epic Games and Apple have been at each other\u2019s necks in a legal battle based around the Fortnite devs making V-Bucks cheaper in-game than they were in the Apple Store, damaging the relationships between the two companies. Since that moment, iOS players haven\u2019t been able to play the coveted battle royale title on any of their Apple products. However, news has come out that Epic Games and Microsoft have entered into a partnership allowing Fortnite to return to iOS systems \u2013 with a catch.
