In a recent post on Twitter, Epic Games revealed that it will not be able to bring the Epic Games Store to iOS in the United Kingdom in 2025. Epic Games also stated that it will not be able to bring Fortnite to iOS in the United Kingdom in 2025 or possibly ever. In May 2024, Fortnite tweeted that it would be coming to iOS devices alongside the Epic Games Store in the United Kingdom due to a new competition law. Now, Epic Games has stated that a recent roadmap put forward by the CMA won't open the mobile app ecosystem to competition in the United Kingdom this year.

Fortnite Won't Be Coming to iOS Devices in the United Kingdom in 2025

The news has disheartened some members of the community, as things have been looking up for gamers who play Fortnite on their iPhones and other iOS devices. Earlier in 2025, Fortnite returned to iOS devices in the United States after being removed several years prior. Epic Games even celebrated the return to iOS devices by giving a free skin to players who logged into Fortnite on a mobile device.

Epic Games has faced some legal trouble of its own, as it was recently sued by the organization SAG-AFTRA for its use of AI in Fortnite. The lawsuit was issued after Epic Games released a fully-voiced version of Darth Vader in Fortnite during its Galactic Battle mini-season, which featured its largest collaboration with the Star Wars franchise so far. For a limited time, players were able to add Darth Vader to their squad and speak with him over voice chat, asking him questions and receiving responses generated in real time. Despite some hiccups and roadblocks, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Fortnite.
