Last updated
Ever wondered, “Why did they get rid of Fortnite mobile?” You’re not alone! Let’s dive into the heart of this question and get some answers.
Many gamers have asked, “Why did Fortnite mobile disappear from the app stores?” Here’s the scoop in simple terms.
Short Answer: It’s All About a Legal Battle
Fortnite mobile got caught in the crossfire of a big legal fight between Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, and Apple (also involving Google). Epic Games tried to bypass the App Store’s payment system, which led to Apple and Google removing Fortnite from their app stores in August 2020.
This move was about control and money. App stores usually take a cut from in-app purchases, and Epic Games didn’t like that. They wanted to keep more money from their sales, but Apple and Google have rules against bypassing their payment systems. So, boom! Fortnite mobile was gone.
