The Epic Games Store has officially launched on iOS and Android. The event comes after a four-year legal battle that began when Fortnite was removed from the App Store and Google Play for circumventing Apple and Google's payment systems.

Android users worldwide and iOS users in the EU can now play Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe and Fall Guys on their devices again. The installation requires an iPhone with iOS 17.6 or Android 7.0 and above. The download file size is 25MB.
