Fortnite returns to iOS worldwide, excluding Australia, as Epic prepares for "final battle" over App Store fees

Epic relaunched Fortnite on Apple's App Store worldwide except Australia, citing expectations that US federal courts will require Apple to disclose its fee structure. The relaunch follows Apple's statement to the Supreme Court that regulators globally are monitoring the case to determine Apple's commission rates. Fortnite remains blocked in Australia due to what Epic calls an "illegal payment arrangement," pending court resolution or Apple's agreement to lawful payment terms.
