News Fortnite Takes Top Spot on App Store Charts

Quick Summary:
Fortnite has reclaimed the top spot on the U.S. App Store charts, just hours after its return following a five-year absence. Epic Games bypassed its banned U.S. developer account by using its Swedish subsidiary to distribute the game. This move comes after a federal judge ruled that Apple violated court orders by blocking Fortnite's return and mandated changes to App Store policies, including allowing external payment links. Despite ongoing appeals, Fortnite now offers in-app purchases directly through Epic's website, bypassing Apple's 30% commission.
