While Fortnite is currently banned from the App Store and Epic Games on the verge of having its Apple developer accounts terminated for violating App Store rules by rolling out its own payments system for V Bucks their in-game currency, Epic is hosting a #FreeFortnite Cup this Sunday for “one more Victory Royale with friends across all platforms.”
Fortnite users who already have the game installed on their iOS devices are currently able to continue playing the game, but they will be “left behind” when Chapter 2 – Season 4 launches on August 27 as Apple will no longer allow Epic push the game update to those users.
Finally, Epic is sharing tips for iOS users worried about being unable to continue playing Fortnite, recommending that they make sure their game data is stored in their Epic accounts and investigate alternative Fortnite-compatible devices where they can simply pick up where they left off. For Android users, Epic notes that users can still install it through other means such as Samsung’s Galaxy Store or sideloading, despite the game having also been pulled from the Google Play store.
