Epic says ‘Sign In with Apple’ will still work for Fortnite

Just yesterday, Epic said that as soon as Friday, Apple will no longer let people use their single sign-on solution, “Sign In with Apple,” to access their Epic Games accounts. That means that anyone relying on their Apple credentials to sign into Epic services like Fortnite and the Epic Games Store will lose access when Apple pulls the plug unless they change their account first.

But the game studio is now saying Apple has given Epic an “indefinite extension” on supporting “Sign In with Apple” for Epic Games accounts.

Epic is still recommending that users “prepare your accounts” for the potential removal of “Sign In with Apple,” however, and continues to promote an explainer on its site showing how to change your login credentials.

When reached for comment about yesterday’s news, Apple told that it was not doing anything to stop “Sign In with Apple” accounts from working with Epic Games. So there’s some kind of discrepancy in who is telling the truth, as Epic is maintaining that Apple was previously enforcing the shutoff (and the way Epic is talking about it, still possibly could). Apple did not immediately reply to a request for comment about today’s development.
