GeForce NOW brings Fortnite to iOS devices.
The new Fortnite mobile version is not just for iOS users. It also affects most iOS users since they have been unable to play Fortnite since May 2021.
iOS gamers have been unable to play Fortnite Battle Royale since it was removed from the App Store in the middle of a court case. For nearly a year, those without an alternative platform to the game had to close their accounts. NVIDIA announced that an iOS-friendly version would soon be available via the cloud. A closed beta will begin in January 2022.

GeForce Now allows you to stream your entire library, or any free-to-play games, to all your compatible devices.

Here’s a brief history of Epic Games and Apple
This announcement is more exciting than usual because iOS Fortnite players have been unable to play the Battle Royale since May 2021, when Epic Games and Apple were locked in a heated court battle. Despite a separate court case between Epic Games, Google, and others, Android users still have access to Fortnite mobile.
The court proceedings were about payment processes on the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Epic Games was, therefore, unable to sell V-Bucks in-game. Fortnite is free to play, so there’s no cost for it on the App Store. Epic Games then makes money through in-app purchases, which Apple disagrees with. Epic Games took issue with Apple’s 30% cut from App Store sales. This resulted in a loss for Epic Games or higher prices for Fortnite users. Epic Games lost the lawsuit, and an agreement could not be reached. Fortnite was removed from the App store and, consequently, iOS devices. Until now.
