Fortnite is returning to Australians after a court decision said Google and Apple's dominance over the digital marketplace was anticompetitive.

An Australian court found the smartphone app stores of Apple and Google-owned Android were uncompetitive, local media reported on Tuesday, in a partial victory for Fortnite game developer Epic Games against the tech giants.

A judge rules Apple and Google breached competition laws by removing the game in 2020, but the return date isn't known.
