Impressive Games ongoing legal battle with Apple over Fortnites removal from the App Store may stretch on for the foreseeable future, and CEO Tim Sweeney is having a little enjoyable while the process plays out. The developer took an uncommon tact recently, promoting PlayerUnknowns Battlegrounds– a rival battle royale video game– to show the value of Unreal Engine for Apple users.
On August 28, Apple promoted an enormous new upgrade for PUBG Mobile on iOS, one of the biggest battle royale competitors to Fortnite (which simply got its Season 4 update on platforms besides iOS). While Epic Games may normally see PUBG Mobile as its competition, the game does use Epics Unreal Engine– which Apple tried to cut off updates to on iOS and Mac– so Sweeney chose to promote the game, as well.

The passive-aggressive nature of the tweet definitely isnt lost on us, because if Apple does ultimately stop Unreal Engine assistance on its devices, that would likely impact PUBG Mobile. Unreal is one of the most popular engines worldwide, with assistance on almost every device including mobile, PC, and consoles. Its not just used by itself for games, however has actually been modified over the years by other studios to fit their tasks. Unreal Engine 5 will be supported on next-generation systems.
Impressive Games shots at Apple have actually continued with its Free Fortnite project and tournament. It also distributed assets so gamers can make their own Free Fortnite merchandise, even allowing for them to sell it. As the logo parodies one of Apples earlier styles, it seems Epic is attempting to win in the court of public opinion if it cant in fact win its lawsuit.
And despite not being as successful as Fortnite, PUBG Mobile has actually managed to take a healthy specific niche. Its 1.0 upgrade will include major improvements throughout the board, and a new competition is going to award $2 million in prizes. Unlike Fortnite, it doesnt offer cross-play with PC or console gamers and is technically a different game.
