Fortnite has returned to the US iPhone App store, ending a five-year ban. The move comes after Apple was forced to alter its payment system following a legal dispute with Fortnite's parent company, Epic Games. Epic Games had previously tried to circumvent Apple's 15% to 30% commission on in-app transactions. Despite ongoing legal proceedings, Apple confirmed the issue had been resolved, allowing Fortnite's reinstatement on its iOS software.
