The developer of Fortnite has launched a lawsuit against Apple and Google after they dropped it from their app stores.

It's because it introduced a direct payment plan, which bypassed their platforms.

It means one of the world's most popular online games is now not available on app stores.

Fortnite reached over 350 million players in May, the survival game can be found being played in many Irish homes.

However, the developer is now suing Apple and Goggle after it was dropped from their app stores.

The tech giants say Epic Games violated guidelines after bringing in a direct payment plan.

Apple and Google would usually take a 30 per cent cut from purchases in games.

Fortnite says that in April, players spent over 3.2 billion hours in the game.

Epic Games says it is not seeking money but is asking for injunctions that would change the way firms run their app stores.
