A few years back, Fortnite began a massive dispute with Apple due to price gouging on in-game purchases that Epic Games did not even see a portion of. This has been an ongoing issue with Apple with other services such as Twitch, where purchasing subs is more expensive on an Apple device than elsewhere.

Apple then pulled Fortnite from their store due to the company and Epic Games not coming to an agreement.

Just a little over a year ago, the European Union ruled Apple to be in the wrong, allowing Fortnite to return to specific regions of the continent. And now, it is officially available for iPad.

Fortnite on iOS is available in all countries in the European Union. The only European countries that still do not allow Fortnite on iOS are Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, as these countries are not a part of the European Union.

With the popular game now back on mobile, it will be interesting to see how big its play base expands in the European Union. Already, Europe has the highest amount of concurrent players out of any region of the world for Fortnite. Adding mobile back into the mix will only increase the numbers.
