Epic Games has announced the return of Fortnite to tablets with iPadOS, along with its digital store. This decision was prompted by the designation of iPadOS as the gateway to market access in the European Union, requiring its opening. In response, Apple will need to modify iPadOS to comply with the Digital Markets Law of the EU.
This move by Epic Games marks a significant expansion of their reach and follows their recent return to iOS devices. The European Commission also announced that iPads must comply with the Digital Markets Act, further reinforcing the need for iPadOS to adapt to these regulations.
The adjustment to iPadOS will allow for greater flexibility and choice for users, as they will be able to customize their devices and access a wider range of applications. By expanding the availability of Fortnite and the Epic Games Store to iPads in the EU, Epic Games is continuing to improve accessibility for players and customers. This strategic move is aligned with the evolving landscape of digital markets and regulations, ensuring that users have more control over their devices and app choices.
