It meant that Apple was under no obligation to allow Fornite to return to the App Store, and it didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many assumed that was the end of it, Nvidia and Epic Games had other plans in store, and today is the day that Fortnite officially returns to the iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, maybe not officially, as you can\u2019t go to the App Store and download the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, you can play Fortnite using Nvidia\u2019s cloud-based game streaming service, GeForce Now, which is accessible via the Safari browser on all iPhones and iPads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are premium subscriptions available, but there\u2019s also a free tier that allows you to play a variety of your favourite PC games free of charge for up to an hour at a time, so there\u2019s no need to pay for access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019d be right to point out that Fortnite has been available on GeForce Now \u2013 and competing apps like Xbox Cloud Gaming \u2013 for some time. What makes this different, however, is that it\u2019s a mobile-optimised version of the game complete with full touchscreen controls, just like it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essentially, today\u2019s release brings Fortnite as close to the native iOS experience as iPhone and iPad players will likely ever get. It\u2019s just as responsive too, thanks to a combination of Nvidia\u2019s impressive low-latency cloud tech, direct collaboration with Epic Games and, of course, a thorough beta testing period that saw over 500,000 participants join in the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n\n               &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/battery-pc-laptop_Lab.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Laptop Battery<\/a> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oriccabattery.co.uk\/hotproduct.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Products<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Fortnite developer Epic Games took on the behemoth that is Apple by trying to circumvent its in-app purchase system back in 2020, the hugely popular game was booted off the App Store \u2013 much to the dismay of mobile gamers around the world.
