Second Fortnite Submission to the App Store Still Stuck in Limbo

  • On May 14, 2025, Epic Games filed a second submission for Fortnite on Apple’s App Store after retracting their initial application submitted on May 9.
  • Apple banned Epic's main developer account in 2020 for violating App Store rules by enabling web-based purchases, which triggered ongoing legal disputes.
  • Epic submitted Fortnite through its Swedish subsidiary to bypass the ban, but Apple has yet to review or approve the latest submission despite usual review times under 24 hours.
  • Epic CEO Tim Sweeney highlighted that Epic Games did not receive any response from Apple for over five days after submitting Fortnite for review, stressing that timely, simultaneous updates across platforms are essential and require cooperation from the App Store.
  • Apple has neither accepted nor rejected Fortnite's current submission, leaving its return to iOS uncertain while Epic aims to release a synchronized content update this Friday.
