Fortnite has postponed its major mid-season upgrade inspired by Star Wars, which appears to be influenced by Apple-related complications. The upgrade was originally scheduled for release today but will now come out 24 hours later, on May 16.

The update, which includes the General Grievous bonus track within the battle pass, is vital for fans of Star Wars. Unfortunately, this shift means players have less time to earn the necessary levels to access those rewards.

“If you didn’t know, Fortnite is set to return to the iOS App Store after a four-year absence. However, the game’s application has been caught up in a review process with Apple, which has led to this delay. It’s unclear how this will affect future updates and potential cross-platform synchronization,” said an insider.

This delay has raised concerns among fans about the implications of ongoing negotiations between Fortnite’s developers and Apple, particularly with Fortnite’s mobile applications undergoing review for re-approval.

Overall, this unexpected shift seems to be a significant setback, especially on the eve of what could have been a thrilling update for players.
