Is there a bigger battle royale brewing between Apple and Fortnite?
A battle royale seems to be brewing between tech titan Apple and wildly popular game Fortnite. Epic Games, publisher of Fortnite, is making the first major challenge to Apple's dominant distribution system, its App Store.
In response, Epic Games filed suit in U.S. District Court in California, claiming Apple has set"unreasonable restraints" over how it handles in-app payments. "This is the first major shot across the bow, especially given Epic and Fortnite, they have such a massive following," Ives said."This is going to be a battle royale and investors as well as developers are watching closely to see how this all plays out and also to see Apple’s next move."
Launched in 2017, Fortnite features a battle royale format where 100 players compete to survive as the last player standing on a remote island. Since then, the game has amassed a huge following of 350 million players, and is available on multiple platforms. Epic Games also teased a new short titled"Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite," which appears to spoof Apple's classic"1984" ad.
