Fortnite has recently gained the heady passion of many players. Known for the popular royale game created by Epic Games, players are enchanted by its unique building mechanics, vibrant graphics, and action-packed gameplay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you might also have heard of the dispute between Apple and Epic Games. Except for EU iOS players, iOS players outside the EU suffer from strict geo-blocks. This post aims to tell you how to play Fortnite on an iPhone for free, considering both EU iOS players and non-EU ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background: Fortnite\u2019s Payment Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a player of Fortnite, you might wonder why you can\u2019t download Fortnite from the Apple App Store. After all, this is a frustrating hit. Simply put, Epic Games and Apple have encountered a difference in Fortnite\u2019s payment system since 2020. Worse, that triggered a legal dispute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the security, Apple eventually removed Fortnite from the Apple Store. This means you can\u2019t download Fortnite directly like other apples, and Epic Games hasn\u2019t worked it out completely so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Epic Games claims that it has been dedicated to working on this issue. Until now, EU iOS players can download the Epic Games Store through the official download websites. And the players outside EU? There are still ways to play Fortnite on your iPhone for free. Check the following approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
