Fortnite is back on the Google Play Store

Epic Games has spent a lot of time in court over the past several years, but it seems the company’s litigious era may be winding down. The company announced today that its game Fortnite is back on the Google Play mobile store in the US. Fortnite‘s return to Android devices means Epic’s popular hit is now available on just about every gaming platform following five years of arguing antitrust lawsuits.

Epic took both Google and Apple to court over their policies for mobile payment systems back in 2020. The gaming company has been successful on the whole in its challenges, most recently reaching a settlement with Google in November. The companies agreed to a modified version of the order US District Judge James Donato originally placed on Google regarding fees charged to developers and handling of in-app payments and third-party billing systems.

The same saga unfolded earlier this year with Apple. US Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers also sided with Epic Games in May, ordering Apple to stop collecting commissions on purchases made outside its own App Store. After a bit of back and forth, Fortnite finally returned to iOS in the US a few weeks later.
