It was clear that sooner or later suspicions had to be confirmed. Epic Games has confirmed that all those devices with iOS as the operating system will be unable to play season 4 for a simple reason: the game will not be updated.
Apple blocks Fortnite season 4
You do not have to be very smart to intuit that, if the update has disappeared from the App Store, the future updates that Epic launched were not going to reach the devices either. It does not matter that you still have Fortnite installed on your phone, or that you manage to buy an iPad at a gold price with the game installed from before. Apple will not let Epic update the game files from the Apple Store, so the game will be deprecated in the next update.
And when is the next big update coming? Well, just tomorrow, since there is a very important event scheduled with the Marvel seal in which a new plot will be revealed in which Thor and Galactus seems to be involved, he devours worlds.
That said, all those iOS and Mac users will be unable to update to version v14.00 of Fortnite, so on August 27 they will not receive any update of any kind.
What about the Battle Pass?
If you feel generous and gift the Battle Pass or any of the new add-ons to someone who couldn’t make the jump to v14.00, that user will never be able to redeem the gift unless they log into another updated platform, such as PS4, Xbox One, Switch or PC.
Those who have Fortnite installed from the Play Store, must update the package by downloading the application from the Epic website so that they can continue to access the new battle passes and add-ons that are released.
How can I play Fortnite?
Unfortunately, if what you have in your possession is an Apple device, there will be no human way to play the new season 4. If you have an Android device, you will have to update the application by downloading the new package from the official Epic Games website or from the Samsung Galaxy Store.
If you have no other option and you continue to play from your iPhone, iPad or Mac, you will play against players who remain on version v13.40 of Season 3, but the battle pass will end on August 27, so there will be no more progress or progress in your profile.
A battle in which everyone loses
The current situation with Fortnite is horrible. Many users are not aware of the problem that awaits them, since as soon as season 4 is released, problems and complaints will begin globally, and that will be when Epic is seen a little more on the ropes by having its users completely annoyed . They for their part throw the ball to the court of Apple and Google, but they do not seem to be willing to go through the 30% hoop.
