Epic Games CEO treats Fortnite fans in anticipation of a return to Apple in 2023 via cryptic message

Epic Games stands as one of the most prominent names in the video game industry. They are also the backbone of the world famous Fortnite title, which has been prevalent in the community since the moment it hit the servers. Surprisingly, it seems that Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has generated buzz in the community regarding Fortnite’s return to iOS.

In the past, Epic Games has been in a legal battle with Apple over the issue of the latter’s revenue cut regarding in-app purchases that led to the dismantling of Fortnite from the app store. While this also caught the attention of Twitter CEO Elon Musk, Sweeney got fans thinking about a return of Fortnite on iOS.

Epic Games recently hit a rough patch after it had to pay $245 million to the FTC in an effort to resolve concerns about refund systems and the item shop in Fortnite. To further resolve concerns related to children’s privacy in Fortnite, they had to pay $275 million to the FTC.

However, it seems that Fortnite is back on track. This has fans ecstatic as the title could make a revival on iOS in 2023. Let’s see what Tim Sweeney had to say about it.
