Fortnite has returned to the Apple App Store globally, with the notable exception of Australia. Epic Games cites Apple's statement to the U.S. Supreme Court about international regulators watching the case as a key factor. Epic expects U.S. federal courts to force Apple to disclose its fee structure, and views Fortnite's return as a signal that Apple's fees won't survive regulatory scrutiny. In Australia, despite Epic winning a court ruling that found many of Apple's developer terms unlawful, Apple continues to enforce those terms, preventing Fortnite's return there. Epic is seeking court orders to end Apple's conduct in Australia. Earlier in 2026, Epic also settled its dispute with Google, returning Fortnite to the Google Play Store.
