Fortnite makes its way back to the iOS platform, and interested players; can now use Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming platform to access the game.
The game is available on the iOS platform along with Android devices and Windows PCs; as all these platforms can support Microsoft’s Game Pass program. The Windows OS maker has collaborated with Epic Games; the creator of Fortnite, for bringing this game after the tiffs between Apple and Epic Games.
The Apple and Epic Games Legal fight regarding the payment portals; that started in August 2020 has still not been resolved yet. Epic has removed the Apple sign-in on their Fortnite game; as the tech giant only supports Apple Pay for in-app purchases, and Epic doesn’t support this act.
Furthermore, Apple has removed the Fortnite game from its App Store platform as the company didn’t want the users to make in-app purchases using Epic’s direct payment mode instead of Apple Pay.

As part of our mission to bring the joy and community of gaming to players; wherever they are and to make gaming more accessible to people around the world, I am excited to announce that; we have partnered with Epic Games to make Fortnite available on supported browser-enabled devices for free; with Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) in 26 countries.
