Hustler Words – Epic Games alleges that Apple is preventing the Fortnite app from returning to the U.S. and EU App Stores. Following a legal victory forcing Apple to allow alternative payment methods in the U.S. App Store, Epic Games resubmitted Fortnite on May 9th, 2025. However, Apple’s lack of response prompted Epic to withdraw and resubmit an updated version on May 14th, incorporating the crucial weekly content update necessary for simultaneous release across all platforms. Despite this, a Friday morning X post from Fortnite revealed that Apple has rejected the latest U.S. submission and, astonishingly, blocked the app’s release in the European Union as well. This leaves Fortnite iOS users worldwide facing an indefinite outage, pending Apple’s reversal of this decision. hustlerwords.com reached out to both Epic Games and Apple for comment but has yet to receive a response.
