Epic Games removes Fortnite from Galaxy Store, plans to bring it to the AltStore for iOS users in the EU
Epic Games announced its new strategy for mobile app stores. The video game publisher is ending its distribution partnerships with mobile stores which it calls “rent collectors” and is instead opting to offer its games via the upcoming Epic Games Store to Android users worldwide and iOS users in the EU.

Epic also announced it will bring its mobile game portfolio (including Fortnite) to the AltStore for iOS users in the EU. Epic also plans to expand to two more third-party stores soon.
On the opposite side, Epic is removing its game library from the Samsung Galaxy Store due to Samsung’s new app sideloading policies. Samsung introduced an Auto Blocker feature with One UI 6 as a means to prevent malware and USB hijacking.
One UI 6.1.1 has expanded its restrictions to app sideloading meaning any Samsung Galaxy phone running One UI 6.1.1 won’t be able to sideload apps by default. There is an easy workaround that involves toggling the AutoBlocker feature off from the settings menu. Devices running older versions of OneUI 6 are not affected by the AutoBlocker sideloading protection for now.

Dude there's no need to do some jailbroking on this Samsung. It's just a goddamn button, A BUTTON! Click it off, and boom, you can continue sideloading. This is not the case with xbox 360 or PS3.
