Since Fortnite was deregistered from the iOS and Android stores the game remains functional, the Fortnite Free Cup will bring together players from all platforms for the last time before next week’s update leaves Apple device users behind.” These are the last days the entire Fortnite community will have the chance to play together,” says the official site. “Apple blocked Fortnite in the App Store, preventing players from upgrading the game to new versions. Players on iOS devices will stay in Season 3 of Chapter 2 while the rest will move on to Chapter 2 Season 4, which will be available on August 27.”

“Just because they can’t play on iOS doesn’t mean there aren’t other great places to play Fortnite. If they are 1200 best eaters in the world, they can win one of these prizes!” The hardware will be distributed among the highest ranked players in each zone during the tournament. In the case of the Brazil region, for example, 120 will be divided among the ones who have eaten the most in the 12 games and those who have eaten the most during a single game.
