Apple kicked the popular game out of the App Store nearly five years ago, prompting a court battle that was partially resolved on Tuesday.

Epic Games' wildly popular multiplayer shooter game "Fortnite" is available again on Apple's App Store in the U.S. from Tuesday, capping a ban of nearly five years and marking a major win for the video game company.

The popular video game Fortnite has returned to the iPhone app store in the U.S., ending a prolonged exile that was triggered by a legal showdown over the lucrative fees that Apple had been collecting for years through a payment system that it has been forced to change.
