Hey there, tech lovers! Nuked here, ready to share some exciting news about everyone’s favorite battle royale game, Fortnite. Grab some popcorn and let’s dive into the latest scoop.

After a long hiatus, Fortnite has finally bounced back onto the US App Store. This comes after a fierce legal battle between Epic Games and Apple, which led to Apple removing the game in 2020. The dispute started when Epic added an in-game purchase option with a discount, bypassing Apple’s system, and Apple responded by banning Fortnite.

Epic Games fought back, taking Apple to court. A judge ruled that Apple’s restrictions were unfair and ordered the company to allow developers to collect payments outside the App Store, which opened the door for Fortnite’s return. Recently, Epic resubmitted Fortnite to the App Store, but it faced some delays. Now, a U.S. judge has urged Apple to approve it or provide a legal reason for blocking it, tipping the scales in Epic’s favor.

The new version of Fortnite in the App Store even offers a 20% cashback for purchases made directly through Epic, sidestepping Apple’s fees. This thrilling comeback marks a major milestone after a lengthy legal saga, with Fortnite now accessible on multiple platforms once again.

Stay tuned for more tech and gaming updates, folks!
