Fortnite is coming back to the iPhone after a 4-year ban — but just in Europe. Apple will fight to keep it that way.

• Apple and Epic Games, the games company behind Fortnite, have been fighting since 2020.
• After essentially banning Fortnite four years ago, Apple is grudgingly letting it back on its devices — but only in Europe.
• That's only happening because of European regulation. And Apple has made it clear it will fight every other change to its App Store rules.

Four years ago, Apple essentially booted Fortnite off of its iPhones. Now the popular game is back — but only for iPhones in Europe.
