The Ragnarok of Fortnite is the biggest triumph for Epic Games, which has been having issues with Apple regarding app security.

Legal Dispute Settled

The matter which existed between Apple and Epic Games had escalated up to courts. But with Fortnite's reappearance on the App Store, both firms have mutually resolved that there is no need to appear physically in the court. This resolution can be the beginning of a new and more flexible app store of the future that is beneficial to the developers and consumers alike.

Influence on the Gaming Sector

Fortnite's return is a victory for Epic Games; however, on a larger scale, the video game sector is still dealing with problems, such as the extension of 'GTA VI'. The cycle is expected to decline by 2.7 billion dollars in profit for the gaming industry in 2025. However, in spite of that the overall outlook for the industry is still bright as it is estimated that the total amount of money spent will be over $200 billion.
