Major Announcement for UK Fortnite Players

Epic Games has delivered disappointing news for British mobile gamers, confirming that neither Fortnite nor the Epic Games Store will be available on iOS devices in the United Kingdom throughout 2025. This announcement comes as Chapter 6 Season 3 concludes, with players eagerly anticipating Season 4's August launch.

Marvel's First Family Joins the Battle Royale

While UK iOS users face limitations, Epic continues expanding Fortnite's crossover content. The game will introduce a complete set of Fantastic Four skins coinciding with Marvel Studios' "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" premiere on July 25. Players can expect to see Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, and Human Torch making their Fortnite debuts - though Doctor Doom surprisingly appeared in two previous Marvel seasons before the heroic quartet.

UK iOS Availability Reversal

Epic Games recently clarified through a Twitter statement that their earlier May 2024 announcement about Fortnite returning to UK iOS devices won't materialize. The company attributes this change to the UK Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) latest roadmap, which Epic claims fails to create competitive conditions in the mobile app market this year.

This development contrasts sharply with the US situation, where Fortnite successfully returned to iOS devices earlier in 2025 after a multi-year absence. Epic had even celebrated the American relaunch with exclusive mobile login rewards.

AI Controversy in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Beyond platform availability issues, Epic Games faces legal challenges from SAG-AFTRA regarding AI implementation. The dispute stems from Fortnite's Galactic Battle season featuring a fully-voiced AI Darth Vader character. This innovative addition allowed players to verbally interact with the Sith Lord through real-time generated responses, though it raised concerns about AI's role in voice acting.
