The clash of the tech titans continues with some fresh developments in the Epic Games vs Apple saga. What had begun with the banning of Fortnite from the App Store quickly turned into a conflict that could change the industry forever. Epic allowing people a bypass through their app was reason enough for Apple to take action and ban Fortnite. And we all know of the drama that unfolded after that.

So far, we know that Apple had not only blocked Fortnite but also Unreal Engine from accessing its code. Since the damage here was collateral, the court ruled that Apple overturn its ban on Unreal Engine, while allowing the ban on Fortnite to continue. But now, Apple is causing a different kind of problem for Epic.

Apple causing more problems for Epic Games’ Fortnite

The Chapter 2 Season 4 update of Fortnite is scheduled to launch on August 27th, but iOS users won’t be able to update their game. You cannot download the game on iPhone anymore and those who have it already can no longer update it.

“Apple is blocking Fortnite updates and new installs on the App Store, and has said they will terminate our ability to develop Fortnite for Apple devices. As a result, Fortnite’s newly released Chapter 2 – Season 4 update (v14.00), will not release on iOS and macOS on August 27. If you still want to play Fortnite on Android, you can access the latest version of Fortnite from the Epic Games App for Android on Fortnite.com/Android or the Samsung Galaxy Store,” wrote Epic in response.

Google users will still be able to download the latest version directly from Epic, but Apple continues to cause problems for Tim Sweeney and Co.

Epic may be okay with Google because its ecosystem is more open, but they are not okay with Apple’s policies. They have openly called them ‘monopolistic’ and that is one of the biggest reasons for this lawsuit (also the 30% fee). Netflix, Spotify, Tinder had all spoken against Apple in the past and now even Microsoft has joined the alliance.

This trial will change the face of the apps market, the gaming industry, and the tech industry, for better or worse. We’ll find out what happens soon enough.
