Epic Games pulling Fortnite from Galaxy Store just as the game returns to iOS in the EU
Epic Games has just announced that Fortnite and other Epic Games titles will be leaving the Samsung Galaxy Store. This is in protest of Samsung’s decision to block side-loading by default on their Android devices, which Epic Games considers anti-competitive.
The decision above is a response to revelations in the US Epic v Google lawsuit about Google’s proposals to Samsung to limit competition in the Android app distribution market. However, there is a silver lining, as Fortnite is set to return to iOS devices in the European Union.
Additionally, the Epic Games Store, a platform for PC games, is coming to Android devices globally and iOS devices in the European Union.
