Epic asks judge to make Apple let Fortnite back on the US App Store
1 min read
Summary
In an about turn, Epic Games has asked the court to enforce the existing injunction and require Apple to approve the return of Fortnite to the iOS App Store, despite earlier statements that it would not pursue such a course of action.
Epic claims Apple is in contempt of the existing injunction, and has delayed approval of the Fortnite submission until a ruling in another case, which Apple has requested, on its request for a partial stay of the new injunction.
Judge Gonzalez Rogers previously stated that Epic knowingly broke its agreement with Apple, so it is not certain she will support Epic’s latest move, despite her previous annoyance with Apple’s behaviour.
Apple has yet to respond to The Verge’s request for comment on the latest developments.
