Epic Games requests Apple allow Fortnite’s re-release in South Korea following new law
One of the world’s biggest gaming giants has sent an urgent request to tech giant, Apple
The creator of “Fortnite,” Epic Games, requested that the iPhone maker restore its Fortnite developer account as it now intends to re-release the popular game on iOS in South Korea, offering both Epic and Apple payment side-by-side, it said in a tweet.
“Epic intends to re-release Fortnite on iOS in Korea offering both Epic payment and Apple payment side-by-side in compliance with the new Korean law,”
it said.
Legal experts and developers around the world are now watching and awaiting a decision in an antitrust case in which Epic has filed against Apple in a U.S. court.
Why the Epic Games vs Apple court case could fail
Epic filed the case last year
The gaming giant filed the case with the courts after it implemented its own in-app payment system in “Fortnite” to avoid Apple’s commissions.
Apple stated that Epic’s move had violated its rules and as a result, kicked the game off the App Store.
Last week, South Korea’s parliament approved a bill that bans major app store operators, includingApple, from forcing software developers to use their payment systems, effectively stopping them from charging commissions on in-app purchases.

OpenAI targets $280 billion revenue by 2030, prompting market fears despite some executives’ confidence in traditional software.
OpenAI has revealed plans to replace major software providers with its own AI-driven products, signalling a dramatic shake-up across the tech industry. The company is targeting an eye-watering $30 billion in revenue by 2026 — and a staggering $280 billion by 2030 — underscoring just how aggressive its expansion strategy has become.
The announcement has rattled markets, with Atlantean’s stock sliding sharply amid fears that AI agents could reduce the need for traditional software licences. Investors are now questioning whether established providers can withstand a shift toward automated, AI-powered platforms.
OpenAI is doubling down through partnerships with major consulting firms to embed AI deeper into business operations. Still, some executives insist traditional software won’t disappear overnight — arguing it will evolve rather than collapse in the face of disruption.

Anthropic CEO to meet Defense Secretary Hegseth on ethical AI deployment and DOD contract discussions.
Anthropic’s CEO is scheduled to meet Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Pentagon to discuss the use of the startup’s artificial intelligence models in military applications. The meeting comes as the Department of Defense seeks clarity on how Anthropic’s AI can be integrated into its operations.
Negotiations between Anthropic and the DOD have recently faced challenges over terms of use. Anthropic is pushing for safeguards to ensure its models are not used for autonomous weapons or domestic surveillance, while the DOD wants full flexibility to deploy the technology for all lawful purposes.
Currently, Anthropic is the only AI company deployed on the DOD’s classified networks, holding a $200 million contract. This meeting could be pivotal in resolving tensions and strengthening collaboration between the AI startup and the U.S. government.
