Following the removal of Fortnite from the App Store last week, Epic Games has just announced a tournament in favor of the #FreeFortnite campaign against Apple. Players will be able to compete for prizes such as Android devices and Windows PCs.
Epic invites Fortnite players to take part in a worldwide tournament this Sunday, August 23, in protest of Apple’s decision to remove Fortnite from the iOS App Store. The gaming company will offer 1,200 non-Apple devices to “apple eaters” in an effort to promote other devices that Fortnite can still run.
Celebrate the quest for one more Victory Royale with friends across all platforms in the #FreeFortnite Cup this Sunday, August 23rd. Fall in for a chance to win more prizes than ever before, including the new Tart Tycoon Outfit, gaming hardware and exclusive clothing.
Hardware prices include an Alienware laptop, a Galaxy Tab S7, a OnePlus 8 phone, a PlayStation 4 Pro, an Xbox One X, and a Nintendo Switch. In addition, players can also win an exclusive skin from the “Apple Man” Tart Tycoon that was introduced in Epic’s “Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite” campaign and a “Free Fortnite” hat.
As indicated by The edge, Fortnite players on iOS who have already downloaded the game will not be able to update it to play in the coming seasons, so Epic reinforces that users will need to switch to other devices if they want to continue playing Fortnite.
In response to recent Fortnite campaigns, Apple recently announced that it is terminating Epic’s developer account, which will prevent the game company from accessing development tools for any Apple platform, including iOS, macOS, and tvOS. Epic responded with a lawsuit asking Apple to allow Fortnite in the App Store again with its own payment system, since the dispute began when Fortnite was updated to evade Apple’s In-App Purchase system.
