Apple has banned Fortnite from its App Store until a legal battle with the game's maker Epic has concluded, according to Tim Sweeney, chief executive of Epic Games.
This means the popular game won't be available for new users to download on iPhones or other Apple devices. Mr Sweeney called out Apple in a series of tweets and said the appeals process may take about five years to complete. The BBC has approached Apple for comment. People who already have the game downloaded on their Apple devices will be able to carry on playing it, but will not receive any updates.
