\tEpic Games asked a US court to temporarily revoke a block on its popular Fortnite game by Apple, claiming it could suffer irreparable damage to its reputation and a permanent loss of users.<\/p>\n

In a court filing, Epic Games said daily active users on iOS had already dropped by more than 60 per cent since Apple banned Fortnite [1] in mid-August.<\/p>\n

It called for a preliminary injunction against the move, which it said Apple took in “retaliation” in a bid to deter it and others from challenging the US company’s “anti-competitive conduct”.<\/p>\n

Epic Games said the financial damage was incalculable, but warned users were likely to defect due to the “loss of Fortnite as a gathering place” for users across all platforms.<\/p>\n

The gaming company stated iOS was the most-used platform by Fortnite players, accounting for 116 million of the game’s 350 million users.<\/p>\n

Apple lost out in a bid to block Epic Games’ Unreal Engine [2] developer accounts from iOS.<\/p>\n

The next court hearing on the case is planned for 28 September.<\/p>\n
