Epic Games has submitted “Fortnite” and the Epic Games Store to Apple for final notarization, in one of the last steps Epic needs to take to launch its iOS storefront in Europe.
On Monday, Epic announced that it had made a number of submissions to Apple for “final notarization.” The list of apps include the Epic Games Store, the company’s attempt at a third-party digital storefront.
At the same time, it submitted two of its games for notarization. Fortnite, the game that triggered Epic’s legal drama with payment method changes, is accompanied by Rocket League Sideswipe, a version of its car-soccer game.
In July, Epic claimed Apple was dragging its heels over the Epic Games Store notarization, with Apple objecting to a few button designs in the app. Following the public complaint, Apple greenlit the Epic Games Store, adding that while it would let the buttons slide for the submission, Epic must fix them for future submissions.
While Epic will be offering Fortnite and Rocket League via its Epic Games Store, it won’t be the only way to play the games. Epic is also planning to use other storefronts, including AltStore, to distribute Fortnite.
