Will Apple allow anything by Epic to even be on their store ?
I was going to post "who cares" but I know there are many Fortnite fans and I loved their Infinity Blade series - and also love "The Last Crusade" and making Apple open up a bit.Apple has to allow everything, based on how pissed the judge was. She said that “Cook chose poorly!”
I love it when someone quotes “The Last Crusade”.

That's a good point. The Epic Games store app has been available for the Mac during this whole blackout. I wonder why they didn't have it available.I've been wondering if Epic will make the Mac version available again and haven't seen any reporting on that. (Unlike the iOS/iPad version which rely on App Store approval, they could have kept the Mac version available this whole time.)
I think it was more to "make a point" than anything technical. (Not saying whether it was actually an effective way to do it or not...)That's a good point. The Epic Games store app has been available for the Mac during this whole blackout. I wonder why they didn't have it available.
Wait, that's just a story about how it was submitted to App Store review on May 9. It looks like it hasn't been approved yet.Looks like it’s back baby!! 😂

Big news for mobile players: Fortnite is officially making its return to the App Store, Epic Games announced today.fortnitetracker.com
Is anyone here able to check to see if it’s also back on the Mac side??

Err, that's exactly what it says.Nope. That’s not what that article says. Did you actually read it??
It looks like you didn't...Nope. That’s not what that article says. Did you actually read it??
Thank you! What a rude response that was for a post I made trying to help.It looks like you didn't...
The article says they've submitted it to the App Store. It hasn't been approved yet, if at all. Searching the App Store for Fortnite doesn't find it yet either.
On the Mac, Fortnite is (was) distributed through the Epic Games client, not through the App Store.
Their web site is still listing this title as Windows only.
I can't find Fortnite in the iOS App Store, either... I suspect it has not actually been published yet. I can't read the "article", it just pulls up a broken/junk page when I click on it.
[Edit]
Err, that's exactly what it says.
Got the article pulled up, it does not say anything about it being live "now", just that Tim Sweeney says that it "will be available" with a note that it has been submitted for review. (Tim Sweeney also works for Epic, not Apple, and doesn't have any say in the app review process.)

(Exactly what @MisterSavage said that they said, and you said that they didn't.)Epic confirmed the news with a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying:
We’ve submitted Fortnite to Apple for review so we can launch on the App Store in the U.S.
— Fortnite (@Fortnite) May 9, 2025
(Indicating that it is not actually on the App Store yet.)Fortnite returns to the iOS App Store in the U.S. next week (exact date of Apple approval, but likely between May 10–15)

Looks like you didn’t read it.
Patience padawan, Fortnite will porbably come back soon enough. Hopefully to the Mac as well.It seems like we’re all talking past each other and quoting different sources, at cross-purposes.
The reason I started this thread was to figure out when Fortnite was coming out and to keep track of the latest news and updates, not to fight with anyone, much less you guys.
If things have gotten out of hand and ugly for anyone, then I do apologize for my part in that.
