To complicate things further, Apple has been cleared, at least for now, of any duty to return Fortnite to the iOS App Store, since a judge refused to grant a temporary restraining order against Apple on that basis. Epic sued Apple published a short video parodying Apple’s “1984” commercial posted an extensive blog calling on players to tweet the hashtag #FreeFortnite and, a week later, announced an in-game tournament with anti-Apple Fortnite cosmetics and real-world swag. Soon after, Apple booted Fortnite from the App Store, which kicked off Epic’s orchestrated campaign against the iPhone maker. The trouble started on August 13th when Epic added a direct payment mechanism to Fortnite that violated Apple’s rules.
Fortnite is renowned for its big in-game events, and players on Apple devices might miss out on future ones. On Apple devices, though, players will miss out on all of that new content. If you’re a Marvel fan, it could be a particularly interesting one. Most new Fortnite seasons pack in significant changes, including updates to the map, new cosmetics, and new in-game rewards as part of the game’s battle pass subscription. On PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android, Fortnite players will have access to all of the new content that’s set to arrive with the potentially Marvel-themed new season. That means players on Apple platforms will be stuck on the current version of Fortnite, and they’ll only be able to play with one another.Įssentially, the legal fight with Apple will, in short order, split Fortnite into two.

And we’re learning that’s not all: players on iPhone, iPad, and Mac will also lose cross-play Fortnite multiplayer with non-Apple platforms, Epic confirms to The Verge. Fortnite’s next season arrives tomorrow, but if you’re on iOS or macOS, you won’t be able to play it, Epic announced today.
