Hit game “Fortnite” was unavailable on Apple’s digital App Store around the world on Friday, in the latest episode of a battle between the tech titan and publisher Epic Games.
“Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission... sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it,” Epic posted on X.
The company effectively accused Apple of stalling the vetting process it enforces before making an app or game available for users to download.
Apple did not immediately respond to AFP’s request for comment. Epic said last week that it had submitted Fortnite for review for listing in the App Store in the United States.
The publisher has since 2020 been battling tech giants over the commissions they charge for software downloaded through the official stores on operating systems like Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android -- historically the only way for most users to install programmes onto their devices.
