How to Get Fortnite on iPhone/iPad in EU
Currently, Fortnite for mobile is only available on the App Store in the US. However, EU (European Union) users can officially play the game on iPhone and iPad via Epic Games Store or AltStore.
All you need to do is download and install the Epic Games Store app on your device. Then open the store and search for Fortnite. Install Fortnite and enjoy the mobile version without any issues.
What about users in other regions?
At this time, you can try to check if the Epic Games Store is available in your region.
- Alternatively, you can also try changing the region of the App Store to America (US). After changing the region, when you open the link of Fortnite for iOS, you may get the option to install the game.
- You can also use cloud gaming options like Nvidia GeForce Now and Xbox Game Pass.
The game was originally scheduled to re-launch on the App Store in the US last week, but Epic Games claims that Apple did not approve the game, delaying its release by another week. The game is now available for download for iOS/iPadOS users in the US.
The game was removed from the App Store because of a dispute between Epic Games and Apple. The reason for this dispute was the difference in the views of the two companies regarding in-app purchases. Apple wanted in-app purchases to be possible only through their platform, while Epic Games wanted to integrate it in their own way. Fortunately, now Epic Store has won the case, which is good news for every Fortnite fan.
