They can choose to do that from the Epic Games app or the Samsung Galaxy Store.
However, we welcome the opportunity to continue our discussions with Epic and bring Fortnite back to Google Play."Īccording to The Verge, a Google spokesperson mentioned the necessity of Google Play’s rules being equal to every developer as it is an open system for various stores, and that the Play Store is fine with other stores as well as Epic releasing its game on it.Īfter all, Android users can still download Fortnite on their devices. While Fortnite remains available on Android, we can no longer make it available on Play because it violates our policies. 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. "The open Android ecosystem lets developers distribute apps through multiple app stores.
Here's what Google said in their statement: The latest update from Epic Games obviously offended that rule, which makes it easier for Google to come to the decision of banning Fortnite, despite being a bit less decisive than Apple. Google Play-listed apps must comply with the Google Play In-app Billing system. Also, there is a 30% cut from Google, just like what Apple implemented. Google specifically requires all payments within games downloaded from Google Play to be done using Google Play In-app Billing. In terms of rules about in-app purchases, Google is considered to be less strict than Apple, but the restrictions for games are there. But now, it seems like Google also sets its foot in as they demand that every in-app purchase must be done by the Google Play system. When the game was removed from Apple’s App Store, Epic expressed a severe attitude and decided to sue Apple for that move. The update contains a new feature that offers players purchases which will be handled by Epic themselves instead of going through the two platforms above, but why we can't get a Fortnite Play Store link any longer? Google has also done the same with the battle royale game on its Play Store. Just recently, Epic Games has released an updated version available for both Apple and Android devices. After Apple’s recent ban on Fortnite that takes down the game from App Store, Google has also done the same with the game on its Play Store.
