Epic Games has announced that Fortnite will make its long-anticipated return to iOS devices in Brazil, officially scheduled for July 2025. This announcement is particularly significant, considering that as of October 2024, iOS accounted for approximately 17% of the mobile gaming market, a figure that has likely continued to rise. While it’s challenging to determine the precise number of Epic Games or Fortnite users, it’s expected that thousands of gamers will eagerly rejoin the community when the game becomes accessible once again next year.
As tweeted by @Brasil_Fortnite:
“Where are the iOS folks? Fortnite will return to iOS devices in the country via the Epic Games Store in July, following the CADE (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) victory in court against Apple. You can celebrate! 🎉”
While an exact date is yet to be revealed, it’s probable that Fortnite will relaunch on iOS during Chapter 6 Season 3. However, some speculate that Epic Games may opt to wait until the commencement of Chapter 6 Season 4 before the official rollout. Players can expect to receive further updates regarding the anticipated features and content in the coming weeks and months.
Fortnite iOS: A Return to Brazil After Nearly Five Years
The return of Fortnite to Brazil will effectively conclude its nearly five-year absence from iOS devices, a hiatus that began in August 2020. Brazilian players will undoubtedly be thrilled at the opportunity to access the game once again through the Epic Games Store come July 2025.
In preparation for this launch, it is likely that Epic Games has been developing an updated build for iOS platforms. Furthermore, the revival of Fortnite on iOS is not limited to Brazil; the game is also set to return to Japan in late 2025. As such, it’s possible we may soon see the Epic Games Store being available on iOS devices across various countries by the end of the year.
While challenges remain, the upcoming availability of both the Epic Games Store and Fortnite in Brazil brings renewed hope to players in the United States and other regions. Gamers there may soon find themselves revived to the excitement of playing Fortnite on their iOS devices in the not-too-distant future.
