Epic holds an in-game Fortnite “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/games/fortnite/ “> Fortnite event themed about its legal dispute with Apple Inc.” href = “https: //www.videogameschronicle. com / companies / apple / “> Apple.
The #FreeFornite Cup will celebrate one more Victory Royale with friends across all platforms this Sunday, April 23, with prizes including an outfit for Tart Tycoon, a character featured in a parody of Apple’s 1984 ad.
Players with top scores across regions (20,000 worldwide) will receive a true #FreeFortnite hat, which is clearly themed on Apple’s classic logo.
Last week, Apple removed Fortnite from the App Store, following Epic’s move to shift its fees with a new direct payment option. In return, Epic filed a lawsuit and called on its fans to support the movement.
“These are the last days of the Fortnite community’s full potential to play together,” Epic said on its website. “Apple has blocked Fortnite from the App Store, preventing players from updating to new versions.
“Players on iOS” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/mobile/ios/”> iOS devices will be left behind in Chapter 2 – Season 3, while everyone else jumps in Chapter 2 – Season 4 on 27 August. ”
It added: “If you’re left on iOS after the launch of Chapter 2 – Season 4, the game continues on PlayStation 4” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/playstation/ps4/” > PlayStation 4, Xbox One “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/xbox/xb1/ “> Xbox One, Nintendo Switch” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/nintendo / switch / “> Nintendo Switch, PC” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/pc/”> PC, Mac “href =” https://www.videogameschronicle.com/platforms/pc/ mac / “> Mac, GeForce Now, and via both the Epic Games” href = “https://www.videogameschronicle.com/companies/epic-games/”> Epic Games App at epicgames.com and the Samsung Galaxy Store. Join the fight against @AppStore on social with #FreeFortnite. ”
This week, Epic’s battle with Apple escalated with the submission of a temporary restraining order, in an attempt to stop the iOS company from accessing developers, including support for Unreal Engine.
The maker of Fortnite claimed Monday that Apple had announced that with effect from Friday, August 28, Epic’s developer accounts and iOS and Mac development tools will be discontinued.
This would prevent Epic from creating software for Apple’s platforms, Epic claimed, including for the mid-range Unreal Engine software it offers to third-party developers.
