Apple terminates Epic Games developer account, halting Fortnite’s App Store return

Epic Games claimed today Apple has unexpectedly terminated the game publisher’s developer account, which was being used to bring both the Epic Games Store and Fortnite to iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads in Europe.

Epic announced back in February its developer account had been approved, but stated that the unexpected closure of that account today came as a surprise. Epic claims it can no longer develop the Epic Games Store for iOS, but alleges this move by Apple is a “serious violation” of the European Digital Markets Act. Apple claims it has the contractual right to terminate its agreements with Epic at its sole discretion.
