Users of Xbox Cloud Gaming will now be able to play 'Fortnite' for free on devices powered by Google-owned Android and Apple's iOS thanks to a partnership between Microsoft Corp and Epic Games, the companies said on Thursday.
"Fortnite" is the first free-to-play title to join the Xbox Cloud Gaming service. "It's an important step to add a Free-to-Play title to the cloud gaming catalog as we continue our cloud journey," Microsoft said in aSince launching in 2020, more than 10 million people around the world have streamed games through Xbox Cloud Gaming. The service is available in 26 markets, including the United States.
Microsoft, as well as Epic Games and scores of other firms, have criticized Apple's store practices, which require developers to pay commissions of up to 30% for purchases made in the store. The "Fortnite" creator has also been involved in a legal battle with Apple, but it largely lost a trial last year over whether Apple's payment rules for apps were anticompetitive.
That decision found Apple had suitable reasons to force some app makers to use its payment system and take commissions of 15% to 30% on their sales.Reporting by Tiyashi Datta in Bengaluru; Editing by Aditya SoniSign up to our tech newsletter to get the latest news and trends in the global technology industry.
