Why Did They Remove Fortnite Mobile?

Last updated
Are you wondering why you can’t find Fortnite on your mobile device anymore? You’re not alone in asking this question.
Let’s dive into the reasons behind the disappearance of Fortnite from mobile platforms.
The Short Answer: A Legal Battle
Fortnite was removed from mobile app stores due to a legal battle between Epic Games, the creators of Fortnite, and Apple and Google. This legal tussle started when Epic Games tried to bypass the app stores’ payment systems.
Epic Games introduced its own payment system within Fortnite to avoid the 30% fee that Apple and Google charge for in-app purchases. Apple and Google saw this as a violation of their guidelines and subsequently removed Fortnite from their app stores.
