Fortnite returns to Apple's App Store after nearly five-year ban

Fortnite has officially returned to Apple's App Store in the United States, ending a nearly five-year ban triggered by a legal clash over in-app payment commissions. Epic Games, the studio behind Fortnite, announced the game's comeback after a recent US court ruling found Apple in breach of earlier orders to allow competition. Though Fortnite had already relaunched in the EU, this US return marks a pivotal shift in app store regulation. Analysts warn, however, the win may have come too late for Fortnites popularity to rebound.
