Apple has blocked Fortnite from the App Store, removing everyone’s ability to install and update the game on iOS devices, while instructing Epic to “remove the ‘Epic direct payment’ feature.”
Epic has taken legal action to end Apple’s restrictions on mobile device marketplaces. Papers are available for their August 13, August 17, and August 23 filings.
What's happening today
- Epic previously successfully filed for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Apple, allowing them to keep Unreal Engine and non-Fortnite products on iOS + macOS
- Today's hearing is for a Preliminary Injunction, which is required to extend this order until the end of the court case
- This gives Epic another opportunity to ask that Fortnite returns to the App Store until the case is over, and to repeat their request that Unreal Engine temporarily remains on iOS + macOS
- Based on the judgement made in the TRO, it's unlikely that the judge will order Fortnite back onto the App Store today, but today's outcome may impact future proceedings
