Epic Games' "Fortnite" video game was not available on Apple's iPhone devices in the European Union and the United States on Friday. Access to Fortnite via Apple's iPhone Operating System and through its App Store will be unavailable worldwide until Apple unblocks it,

Epic Games said 'Fortnite' will be offline on Apple devices because the iPhone maker blocked its app update. The move comes just weeks after Epic Games cheered a judge's ruling that limited the commissions that Apple makes through apps.

"Apple has blocked our Fortnite submission so we cannot release to the US App Store or to the Epic Games Store for iOS in the European Union," posted the official Fortnite account on X today. "Now, sadly, Fortnite on iOS will be offline worldwide until Apple unblocks it."
