Nvidia, Epic Games to bring ‘Fortnite’ back to iPhones in ‘near future’

Nvidia Corp and Epic Games on Thursday said they are working together to put video game “Fortnite” back on Apple Inc’s iPhones in the “near future” as part of Nvidia’s streaming game service.

The popular game has been blocked on Apple’s devices since August, when Epic introduced its own billing system. Apple said that violated its App Store rules and removed “Fortnite” from the store, igniting a legal and public relations battle in which Epic has sued Apple and alleged its App Store rules and fees amount to anticompetitive conduct.
