The mobile version of Fortnite was banned from Apple’s and Google’s app stores near the height of its popularity.

Mere hours after the debut of AI Darth Vader in Fortnite, the character began spewing racial slurs and making real-world threats against players, sparking immediate backlash and concern.

Within a matter of months, Fortnite Battle Royale eclipsed PUBG's player count and never looked back, while around this time PUBG Corporation filed a lawsuit against Epic, believing that Fortnite infringed upon the copyright of PUBG.

Epic Games' wildly popular multiplayer shooter game "Fortnite" is available again on Apple's app store in the U.S.

According to Hypex, the most popular Fortnite leaker, the next season will likely have a hero theme. Epic Games has shown designs for 18 hero-themed skins in surveys, and a Superman collab will also arrive in the next season. Furthermore, the season will begin on the same day as the OG Season 4, which also had a hero theme.

Shortly after Epic Games dropped Darth Vader, in the form of a holographic conversational AI, into Fortnite, players started figuring out how to get the Sith lord to say the worst things possible. That includes tricking Darth into saying the F-word, “edging and gooning,” and, chillingly, “ Skibidi Toilets .”

Fortnite is back on iPhone and iPad, as announced in its post today on X. The game had been in and out of the Apple App Store multiple times over the years as its parent company, Epic Games, and Apple clashed over developer fees.

Epic Games has revised the end date for the Fortnite x Star Wars season, bringing it to a close much sooner than originally planned.
