Overview

  • Fortnite Brasil said the relaunch on iPhone and iPad has moved from August 21 to October.
  • Epic attributed the delay to CADE starting fresh talks with Apple and extending the deadline to meet provisional measures.
  • Brazil’s regulator previously ordered Apple to allow alternative app distribution and third‑party payment links.
  • Epic criticized Apple’s fees, warning screens, and other practices while urging CADE to secure freedoms similar to those in the United States and European Union.
  • The plan initially targeted a July return via the Epic Games Store before a Brazilian federal court shifted Apple’s timetable, and details of the current negotiations have not been disclosed.
