Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Epic Games said its popular Fortnite video game will return to iOS platforms in Australia after its high court ruled on Tuesday that Google and Apple's dominance over the digital marketplace was anticompetitive.
Australian federal Judge Jonathan Beach ruled that both Google and Apple had misused their positions as the dominant players over in-app purchase commissions that included fees of up to 30% to cut back on competition.
On Tuesday, CEO Tim Sweeney said Fortnite will return to iPhones along with its Epic Games Store "at a date to be determined."
In a social media post, Sweeney called the ruling a "victory" in Australian antitrust proceedings via its nearly five-year-long legal battle against the tech giants.
