Epic has spent the last five years fighting Apple’s in-app purchase policies. Now, after half a decade, the Epic Games Store and Fortnite<\/em> will once again be available on iOS in Australia. A judge has found Apple’s conduct likely diminished competition, in part for not allowing alternative payment methods, the Australian Financial Review<\/em> reports.<\/p>\n

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Epic announced, “An Australian court just found that Apple and Google abuse their control over app distribution and in-app payments to limit competition. There are 2,000+ pages of findings that we’ll need to dig into to fully understand the details. This is a win for developers and consumers in Australia!”<\/p>\n

Epic started this battle when it bypassed Apple’s in-app purchasing method, using its own. The move meant Apple lost its 30 percent cut of all sales. Apple banned Epic and a lengthly legal back-and-forth followed. In April, a judge in the US ruled that Apple could no longer collect commissions on purchases not paid through the App Store. Epic Games and Fortnite<\/em> returned to the US App Store in May.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear when exactly Epic Games and Fortnite<\/em> will return to iOS in Australia and if this battle is finally coming to an end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
