Fortnite’s developer plans on awarding anti-Apple prizes to participants, including a player skin designed to depict Apple as a sour and soulless company.
(Credit: Epic Games) The next Fortnite tournament will be more than just fun and games: Epic Games also wants to troll Apple during the event by offering prizes intended to mock the iPhone maker. Epic Games has scheduled a “#FreeFortnite” cup for Sunday to rally gamers around Epic in its antitrust feud against Apple. Participants will have the chance to win two anti-Apple prizes. One includes the “Tart Tycoon Outfit,” pictured above, which is a player skin designed to depict Apple as a sour and soulless company. The other is a baseball cap labeled with the slogan “Free Fortnite,” a reference to how Apple has pulled the game from the iOS App Store. Epic Games plans on shipping 20,000 hats to top scoring players across the globe.

We’re droppin the #FreeFortnite Cup,” the company wrote in the announcement. However, the tournament also marks the last time (at least for now) Fortnite players on iOS will be able to enjoy the latest version of the game with competitors on other platforms. That’s because Apple’s decision to pull Fortnite from the App Store means Epic Games can no longer deliver major updates to the multiplayer title for existing iOS players.
