      <title>Epic Games' 'Fortnite' returns to App Stores worldwide</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330459231/epic-games-fortnite-returns-to-app-stores-worldwide</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Epic Games said on Tuesday its popular shooter title “Fortnite” has returned to global App Stores, as the videogame maker ​signalled confidence in a favourable outcome from ‌an ongoing lawsuit against Apple.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Once Apple is forced to show its costs, governments around the world will not allow ​Apple junk fees to stand,” Epic said in ​a statement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Epic, a US-based studio backed by China’s ⁠Tencent, has been embroiled in a legal battle ​with Apple since 2020 and alleged that the ​company’s practice of charging a commission of up to 30% on in-app payments violated US antitrust rules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Apple knows the US federal ​court will force it to be transparent about ​how it charges its App Store fees,” Epic said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year, “Fortnite” ‌was made available on the App Store in the US after a nearly five-year ban.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Fortnite”, one of the most popular games in the world, follows a last-man-standing battle royale formula and boasts millions of ​daily players who spend heavily ​on in-game ⁠currency to buy cosmetics for avatars.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, Epic earlier this year said it would cut more than 1,000 jobs following a ​drop in ⁠engagement for “Fortnite” due to macroeconomic uncertainty and a challenging spending environment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Epic said “Fortnite” has not returned to the ⁠Australian ​App Store yet as Apple continues ​to enforce many developer terms that the court had found unlawful.&lt;/p&gt;
