Here is everything we know so far about the return of Fortnite and Epic Games Store to iOS in Japan next year!
Epic Games has revealed that Fortnite iOS will be making its long-awaited return to Japan in late 2025! This news comes after the Japanese government and the Diet passed a new law aimed at opening up mobile app stores in the country.
According to a statement shared by Epic Games on the social media platform X, “A big win for mobile gamers and developers: the Japanese government and the Diet have passed a new law to open up mobile app stores! The Epic Games Store & Fortnite will be coming to iOS in Japan in late 2025.”
While an exact timeline and date are still a secret, it is expected that the popular battle royale game will be available on iOS devices in Japan towards the end of Chapter 6.
The news of Fortnite coming back to iOS in Japan is a big step towards bringing the game back to iOS devices everywhere globally. We are sure that after or even before Japan, there will be more countries to follow the step.
While fans and players in the community are excited about playing Fortnite on their iOS devices again, it’s important to remember that development for the Epic Games Store and the game itself will take time. So we need to be patient.
Also, if you are living in the US, unfortunately, there are no updates about Fortnite returning to iOS devices in the United States as of now. Due to the ongoing legal dispute between Epic Games and Apple, it’s unlikely that the situation will change soon. But we can still hope!
The return of Fortnite iOS to Japan in 2025 is a major milestone for both mobile gamers and developers. As Epic Games makes progress in different regions, players can hope to enjoy the popular battle royale game on their iOS devices once again!
