Such data was shared by Michael Schmid, head of the gaming business development department in the App Store. He declined to give the exact amount, saying it would be “inappropriate.”
We add that according to Sensor Tower calculations, Apple‘s earnings from the commission in Fortnite could amount to about $354 million. Since the release of battle royale, gamers have spent $ 1.2 billion in the iOS version of the game.
Schmid says he’d guess Apple made over $100 million (it would be inappropriate to give more detail, he says) in commissions from Fortnite over its life in the store.
