Epic Games’ popular battle royale title Fortnite has returned to the Google Play Store in the United States after Google complied with a district court order, the company said Thursday.
Epic added that it is working with Google to obtain court approval for a settlement reached between the two companies, following a years-long antitrust dispute over app store practices.

The game’s availability outside of the US remains uncertain. “Stay tuned for news on Fortnite’s return to Google Play in the rest of the world,” Epic said in a post on X.
Fortnite was removed from Google Play in 2020 after Epic introduced a direct payment system that bypassed Google billing, sparking a legal battle over fees and app distribution rules.
Google and Epic announced a deal last week, but the terms have not been revealed.
