For almost two years now, the war has been raging between Apple and Epic Games. After the creators of Fortnite decided to bypass the App Store payment system, in the summer of 2020, a legal dispute arose, and the Battle Royale was blocked on IOS. But finally comes some very good news for Fortnite players who own Apple devices; the Battle Royale becomes practicable again, through the Xbox Gaming cloud .
The Microsoft Cloud to the rescue
Even though Fortnite no longer exists via the App Store, that doesn't mean that Apple devices are no longer capable of supporting it. Indeed, it is now enough to go through the free Xbox cloud from IOS, to be able to replay Fortnite from your iPhone or tablet.
Clever circumvention maneuver on the part of Epic Games, which for two years has seen its flagship game being blocked by Apple.
How to play Fortnite this way?
Playing Fortnite through cloud gaming is actually quite simple, and you only need two things:
- A working Microsoft account
-
Internet access

Where is the legal war between Apple and Epic Games?
This cloud gaming trick is actually the second parade found by Epic Games to return its flagship game to Apple players, since with NVIDIA the Battle Royale had already been accessible again other than via the App Store. But it will probably take other mechanisms for the IOS playerbase to be fully back, because between the two companies, nothing is going well. Apple had confirmed last September that the return of Fortnite to IOS would not take place at best before five years, which correspond to the duration necessary for appeals.
