Epic Games is calling it the 'Fortnite Mega Drop', and it means permanent price reductions of up to 20 percent for all V-Bucks purchases. For instance, picking up 1,000 V-Bucks will now cost $7.99 instead of $9.99 on PC, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. You'll also have the option to purchase V-Bucks at the discounted prices on iOS and Android with an 'Epic direct payment', or you can process your payment through the App Store or Google Play at the old, higher price.
'Currently, when using Apple and Google payment options, Apple and Google collect a 30% fee, and the up to 20% price drop does not apply,' Epic explained on its official website. 'If Apple or Google lower their fees on payments in the future, Epic will pass along the savings to you.'
Epic has chafed against the built-in app ecosystems of both iOS and Android for years. You couldn't even install Fortnite through Google Play for the game's first 18 months on Android. This is a strong move, and unless I'm terribly mistaken it runs counter to App Store policies that require all in-app purchases be processed through Apple so Cupertino can take its cut. It's the same reason Amazon's Comixology iOS app only lets you read comics, not buy them.
Epic may have negotiated special arrangements with Android and Apple. Or Epic may just be going hard and hoping to use Fortnite's clout to keep the mobile platform holders from clamping down on the change. Whatever way it goes, it should be interesting to see how Apple, Google, and other game companies respond.

Update: Fortnite is no longer on the iOS App Store after Epic Games added a new payment option that violated Apple's terms.
V-bucks Epic Games Store
The new 'Epic direct payment' option on mobile offers players discounted prices on V-Bucks, in exchange for circumventing the service charge that the App Store and Google Play normally take on each in-app purchase. Apple confirmed that Fortnite's removal was a direct result of the new payment option in a statement given to The Verge.
'Epic agreed to the App Store terms and guidelines freely and we're glad they've built such a successful business on the App Store. The fact that their business interests now lead them to push for a special arrangement does not change the fact that these guidelines create a level playing field for all developers and make the store safe for all users. We will make every effort to work with Epic to resolve these violations so they can return Fortnite to the App Store.'
It looks like you're still able to play Fortnite on iOS if you already have it installed, or download it from your purchase history if you've installed it in the past. That may also change if Epic and Apple can't come to an agreement soon.
