After days and weeks of going back and forth, Apple has finally terminated Epic Games App Store account. This means Epic Games can no longer issue updates to any of its games, including make any new ones available for iOS.

After doing so, Apple said in a statement:

″We are disappointed that we have had to terminate the Epic Games account on the App Store. We have worked with the team at Epic Games for many years on their launches and releases.  The court recommended that Epic comply with the App Store guidelines while their case moves forward, guidelines they’ve followed for the past decade until they created this situation. Epic has refused. Instead they repeatedly submit Fortnite updates designed to violate the guidelines of the App Store. This is not fair to all other developers on the App Store and is putting customers in the middle of their fight. We hope that we can work together again in the future, but unfortunately that is not possible today.”

Customers can still play the game if it is still installed on a device.  But will not get any new updates or worlds from this day forward.
