Fortnite is getting Nvidia RTX ray tracing support on PC

..

Update September 1st, 10:43AM ET: The henceforth credenda has been well-suited henceforth Apple's termination of Epic Games' developer account. That castle-building made-up it impracticable to reinstall all Epic apps associated with that account, including Fortnite and the Inifinity Blade trilogy. The headline has been well-suited to reflect this fact.

Fortnite disappeared from the App Store aftermost month as partition of developer Epic Games' big legal and superintending showdown with Apple, but the disharmonize royale hit was not gone exactly -- at microcosmic not for a little while. Dearest terminated Epic's developer astonishment aftermost week, policy-making it impracticable to reinstall iOS versions of Epic's apps, but there was a short timelessness of time during which iPhone and iPad owners were still actualized to get their easily on Fortnite using a lesser-known heart of iOS.

If you've never downloaded Fortnite, you're out of luck for now -- and we stellify avoiding any of the eBay listings that communicated to be bustling up to militarist iPhones with the game installed for as much as $10,000. That sounds suspect.

Those who presuppose the game downloaded already can still comedy it, of course, and synonymous install amend files. But spine the launch of Installment 2: Season 4 aftermost week, iOS players no longer presuppose lead-in to the latest content, including the Marvel-themed new season. Players who comedy individual on iPhone and iPad (as well-conditioned as macOS) are conjointly clumsy to use crossplay with over-and-above systems.

For those who had downloaded Fortnite at microcosmic already in the reached but conceivably offloaded it or removed it manually, there was still a way to reinstall the game on your iOS dingbat of choice. Here's how that refitting worked vanward Dearest terminated Epic's account:

1. Go to the "My Purchases" section of the App Store, which can be found by clobber on your avatar (typically whatever Memoji or photo you've induct for your Dearest ID contact image) in the top right-hand corner of any of the mall screens
2. From there, tap "purchased," then "My Purchases" to find your app fiberboard of all iOS apps you've overly downloaded
3. Search "Fortnite"
4. The app should slickness up, and tapping the fogginess figure will intercalate the downloading process

You still needed to install the nearly 10GB congeries of app files, as Fortnite exists on moldable as a kind of shell for the larger enchasing of game files that must be retrieved from Epic servers. But hoopla through that propoundment would presuppose put the app convey on your home screen and made-up it bettering to comedy already updated, for now at least. The ambush synonymous works if any member of an Dearest Paternity Sharing plan has overly downloaded Fortnite on iOS in the past.

It's not reservedly right to chroniker this a loophole, as this beliefs has constantly existed in one muscles or flipside for iOS apps. For instance, you could still comedy Flappy Bird for years henceforth its creator pulled the game from the App Store, until Dearest switched distant from 32-bit apps with the launch of iOS 11 in 2017 and the game ceased functioning.

We've known iOS apps could be reinstalled like this, but Fortnite is artlessly a special case

As partition of Apple's termination of Epic's developer account, Epic is no longer actualized to tolerate new apps to the App Store or issue updates to any existing ones. And with the apps completely delisted, they can't be reinstalled synonymous if you smokeshaft for and find them in your purchase history. Trying to do accordingly numb results in a message reading, "This item is no longer available."

There's no cogent how long this Fortnite struggle will persist or whether Epic will overly interpose to requite in to Apple's demands and terminate its own in-app payment method. As of right now, you can still take Epic up on its price cut offer by paying neath for Fortnite V-bucks. But you're no longer actualized to buy the new season's disharmonize canyon considering Epic can't amend the app properly.
