  • The launch coincided with Epic Games' May Star Wars-themed Fortnite update.
  • Fortnite remained unavailable on Mac, according to 9to5Mac.

Epic Games launched Fortnite on iPhone in Japan on May 1, 2026. The release arrived alongside the company's May Star Wars-themed Fortnite update, and 9to5Mac reported that Fortnite was still unavailable on Mac.

9to5Mac said Fortnite had returned to iPhone and iPad in the United States one year earlier, in May 2025. The report also said Epic Games was targeting iOS availability in another region next, but it did not name that region in the excerpt provided.
