Tech giant takes a step back from years-long feud with game maker after pressure from European regulators
Under pressure from European regulators, Apple took a step back in its feud with Epic Games on Friday, clearing the way for Epic to put Fortnite and its own game store on iPhones and iPads in Europe.
Earlier this week, Apple had taken steps to block Epic from starting up a store and bringing back the popular game, which Apple removed from its App Store in 2020 after Epic broke the iPhone maker’s in-app payment rules in protest.
