Fortnite and Epic Games Store Now Available on iPhone in the EU
The Epic Games Store is now available for iPhone users in the European Union, after Apple was forced to allow third-party app marketplaces as part of compliance with the EU’s Digital Markets Act. This means Fortnite is once again available to download on iPhones in the EU.
The catalog of games available in the iOS Epic Games Store starts small but will grow over time. Epic aims to hit 100 million mobile downloads before the end of the year, driven by game installs across Epic Games Store on iOS and Android.
Epic must pay Apple a 50 euro cent fee for every install of the store, recurring annually. Apps inside alternative marketplaces also have to pay this 'Core Technology Fee'.
Currently, alternative app stores are only supported by iPhone devices running iOS 17.4 or later, and will come to iPad with iPadOS 18.
