When developer Epic Games gave Fortnite players the chance to save a few bucks by making payments through their own platform instead of Apple’s, the game was started from the App Store. Apple regulations, accepted by Epic, allow Apple will kick out games and developers who try to get around the 30% cut in in-app payments by offering their own payment system. In court, Epic tried to portray Apple as a monopoly and Apple practically said that Epic owed it a debt of gratitude for the time and money spent promoting Fortnite. The bottom line is that even though Fortnite is no longer available on the App Store, it can still be played on iOS thanks to Nvidia.
Nvidia announced Thursday that GeForce NOW, the company’s cloud gaming system, will bring a touch version of Fortnite to iOS via Safari. Nvidia notes that while games in the GeForce NOW library are best experienced on mobile devices with the use of a gamepad, it is working with Epic Games to develop a “touch” version of Fortnite because “touch is the key. how over 100 million Fortnite players have built, fought and danced their way to Victory Royale. ”Working on the game to make it tactile is going to delay its release.
Fortnite will return to iOS soon via Nvidia’s cloud gaming service
Mobile Fortnite players will be able to log into Epic’s PC storefront and find Fortnite on the iOS version of Ge Force NOW. While it’s not as easy as playing Fortnite when it was available on the App Store, at least those who only played the game on iOS will have that opportunity again.
Documents filed during the legal battle between Epic and Apple indicate that there were 116 million Fortnite players who played on iOS and 73 million played the game only on iOS. The number of daily active users on iOS was 2.5 million, or 10% of the 25 million who play daily on all platforms. And more in-app purchases have been made on iOS than on Android.
Despite this scintillating news that Mobile Safari will allow Fortnite to open a back door on the iOS platform, users would definitely prefer Apple and Epic to kiss and wear makeup so that the Fortnite iOS app could return. .
