Epic Games has confirmed the return of Fortnite for iOS in Brazil starting July 2025, ending a nearly five-year hiatus. This follows a court victory against Apple and is part of efforts to expand Fortnite’s presence on iOS devices globally, with other regions like Japan expected to follow.
Epic Games has confirmed that Fortnite for iOS will make its return in Brazil in July 2025. This announcement is significant, as iOS represented nearly 17% of the mobile gaming market in October 2024. Although precise figures of Fortnite’s user base are unavailable, thousands of players will join the game when it relaunches in Brazil.
On the social media platform X, Epic Games announced via @Brasil_Fortnite: “Where are the iOS folks? Fortnite will return to iOS devices in the country via the Epic Games Store in July, following the CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) victory in court against Apple. You can celebrate! 🎉” While an exact launch date is not specified, it is anticipated that Fortnite iOS will go live during Chapter 6 Season 3 or at the onset of Season 4.
This return marks the end of a nearly five-year hiatus that began in August 2020, allowing Brazilian players to access Fortnite on iOS devices again. Epic Games likely has a build prepared for iOS devices, indicating a smooth comeback for users. Additionally, Fortnite’s iOS revival is expected to extend to Japan by late 2025, with potential expansion to more countries by year-end.
Despite challenges, the return of Fortnite through the Epic Games Store in Brazil highlights hopeful prospects for iOS players in the United States and beyond, who are eager for similar access in the future. Currently, Epic Games is also bolstering its development team by hiring talent from other successful franchises like Call of Duty, and the company faces ongoing legal issues regarding its Item Shop practices. Furthermore, exciting crossovers such as Fortnite’s collaboration with Disney are anticipated, reinforcing the game’s growing influence.
Epic Games will reinstate Fortnite on iOS in Brazil by July 2025, ending a long absence since August 2020. This revival is expected to bring thousands of players back into the fold, coinciding with a future release in Japan. Epic’s strategies and collaborations hint at a thriving future for Fortnite and its community, while ongoing litigations add to the complexity of the gaming landscape.
