The popular video game Fortnite could be restored to Apple’s mobile devices through a game program running in a browser, allowing it to evade an Apple ban amid a dispute over fees, the BBC reported.
Apple pulled Fortnite from its App Store on August 13 after Fortnite developer Epic Games released an update that dodges revenue sharing with the iPhone maker, and the companies are now locked in a legal battle.
Now, Silicon Valley tech company Nvidia has developed a version of its GEForce Now cloud gaming service that runs on Apple’s Safari browser, which could offer Fortnite to Apple users, the BBC said.
Nvidia could announce the Fortnite offering on the platform before winter break, according to the report, adding that it was possible that the game could still be excluded from Apple devices.
Epic and Apple are fighting over whether Apple’s tight control over the App Store and its 30 percent cut in revenue counts as monopoly behavior. A trial is not expected to resolve the dispute until next year.

Nvidia declined to confirm whether Fortnite would soon be available on Apple mobile devices. The game is now available on Apple laptops through the Nvidia system.
“Nvidia does not comment on the arrival of new customers to the service, nor on the availability of any games on unannounced or previously unreleased platforms,” said a spokesperson.
“Fortnite is not confirmed for GeForce NOW on platforms beyond PC, Mac, and Android.”
Epic Games also declined to comment, while Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
