US EditionEpic Games Gets New Hearing Against Apple
- On May 19, 2025, Epic Games submitted a motion requesting that Apple allow Fortnite to be reinstated on the U.S. App Store after the company prevented its re-entry.
- The motion follows a long legal battle over Apple's App Store policies, including a 2021 injunction requiring Apple to allow links to external payment methods.
- Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers found that Apple intentionally violated the court's injunction by charging a 27% commission on certain purchases made outside the App Store and by postponing Fortnite's reinstatement.
- The judge indicated that Apple can address the matter without additional submissions or a court session and instructed an Apple representative responsible for compliance to appear in court on May 27 if the issue remains unresolved.
- This ongoing dispute highlights tensions over platform control and app developer rights, and may influence future regulatory or legal actions globally.
