I really feel like I simply gave y’all some excellent news about Fortnite Cellular’s return, however it appears the Apple lawsuit of frustration and despair has continued. This time, Epic Video games has introduced that Fortnite Cellular will not be launched in Japan simply but.
This time round, Epic Video games CEO Tim Sweeney stated he’s disagreeing with Apple’s insurance policies (once more). He famous that Apple has a 21% payment for third-party buying on video games within the App Retailer and that Apple API can gather transactional information from third-party apps on Japanese iOS gadgets.
He tweeted: “Sadly, Fortnite won’t return to iOS in Japan in 2025 as promised. Apple was required to open up iOS to competing shops in the present day, and as an alternative of doing so actually, they’ve launched one other travesty of obstruction and lawbreaking in gross disrespect to the federal government and folks of Japan.
“Apple selected poorly once more.”
This comes after an ongoing authorized battle between Epic Video games and Apple over transaction charges. The end result? The US District Courtroom discovered a few of Apple’s insurance policies to be unlawful. Now, Epic is refusing to return Fortnite to Japanese gadgets as a result of these ongoing practices.
Fortnite Cellular was initially purported to return to Japanese gamers in late 2025. Sadly, the delay is now indefinite as Epic waits for Apple to vary its insurance policies.
