Epic Games has secured a significant win against tech giants Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) (NASDAQ: GOOG) in an Australian federal court.

Epic Games, the developer of 'Fortnite', has secured a partial victory in its long-running legal dispute against Apple and Google in Australia, with a federal judge ruling that both companies engaged in anti-competitive conduct through their app stores and in-app payment rules.

Australia has ruled that Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store are uncompetitive, leading Epic Games to declare victory in its years-long legal case, and announce that "Fortnite" will return to iOS in the country.
