Fortnite is set to return to tablets with iPadOS, along with its own digital store. This announcement comes after the European Union’s Digital Markets Law designated iPadOS as a market access guardian and required it to open up. Apple will need to modify iPadOS to comply with this law, allowing users to remove preinstalled applications and download apps from external sources.
Epic Games has announced that they are working to bring Fortnite and their store to iPhones in the EU soon, followed by a release on iPads later this year within the European Union. This move follows Epic Games’ successful return to iOS devices with Fortnite and their store.
The Digital Markets Act also applies to iPads within the European Union, which means that Apple will have to make adjustments to iPadOS in order to comply with this law. This includes giving users more control over their applications and enabling support for downloading apps from sources other than the App Store. Epic Games is determined to make Fortnite available on iPads as soon as possible within the European Union.
