Fortnite not in Google Play store as well!

Fortnite kicked out google store

It seemed like a bad joke but it is not Fortnite just after the kick out of the iTunes store Epic Games Fortnite is now not available on Android as well : Fortnite on Android !

They announced in May the game would be available on Android device via the Google Play store but however decided not to launch it due to the tax made by google on inapp purchases, they then realised an update to allow purchase not related to the store and so not under those 30% fees !

Fortnite out of the store

The last update on the app was related to the inapp purchases and allowed to pay out of the store ! It seemed that the change has not been appreciated by both platform that kicked out the app from the store !

In the lights of Apple conversation arround the suppression of the game on the store Google as well reacted earlier based in its policy :

Google is well known to ban apps based on duplicate content but got quite a stretch policy. However, Google decided to ban Fortnite from the store !

Google statement shared on the Verge :

‘The open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app stores. For game developers who choose to use the Play Store, we have consistent policies that are fair to developers and keep the store safe for users. While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available on Play because it violates our policies. However, we welcome the opportunity to continue our discussions with Epic and bring Fortnite back to Google Play.’

To install Fortnite on Android you can now go directly by the website :

A new opportunity for other store ?

Earlier this month epic games made a partnership with Samsung galaxy 9 to make it available on android ! This partnership between Epic and Samsung might be a huge opportunity for Samsung Store that got the game available since August ! Tim Sweeney also RT a tweet of Samsung Galaxy :

Huawei as well developed since several month its own Huawei store after google banned on Huawei phone the google play store ! This is definitely not something to ignore.



‘The developer support has led to 81,000 apps specifically aimed at Western audiences using HMS APIs, as of July. That figure has increased 26,000 since February.’

Indeed Epic games campaigns was well prepared and did not seemed improvise at all. They directly replied as well on social on Twitter with the hashtag #FreeFortnite and the legal action against apple

And the CEO of Epic games even shared on Twitter late July « Apple has gone crazy «  that can sum up this insane situation !

The creative used for this campaign was also really well polished :

Epic Games, also a store !

Epic Games, part of Tencent is also a store and so is really familiar to those policies. It worth to say that the store competition might get tough in 2020 !
