Fortnite Returns to Mac in 2025 After Apple Settlement
Fortnite, the popular game, will be back on Apple devices soon.
It was taken off in 2020 because the game company, Epic Games, and Apple didn't agree on how to handle payments.
Now, they've made a deal, so Fortnite is coming back to Macs in 2025.
Until it's available on the Mac App Store, you can still play it using cloud gaming services.
This means you can play the game without downloading it, using services like Xbox Cloud Gaming or Nvidia GeForce NOW.
This new deal could also change how apps handle payments, possibly giving users more choices and better prices.
Fortnite is set to return to Apple devices in 2025 after a settlement between Epic Games and Apple.
The game was removed from the App Store in 2020 due to a dispute over payment options.
Mac users can play Fortnite through cloud gaming services like Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce NOW.
Epic Games will be allowed to re-release Fortnite on the Mac App Store.
The settlement could lead to more payment choices and potentially better pricing for users.
