Summary

  • Mobile Epic Games Store expanding with 20 new third-party games and free monthly titles.
  • New features include Epic login and auto-updates on Android and iOS platforms.
  • Epic’s benefits to developers, aim to support developers and compete with existing fees.

As an enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that the Epic Games Store is expanding its horizons onto mobile devices! This means an influx of exciting third-party games for Android and iOS users like me. But that’s not all! The Epic Games Store has also rolled out some enticing benefits for developers, which could potentially attract even more fantastic titles to the platform in the coming days.

In the year 2024, halfway through, the mobile variant of the Epic Games Store made its debut, marking the initial appearance of “Fall Guys” on mobile devices. This move is the newest instance of Epic disrupting the mobile app market, with criticisms aimed at the built-in app store systems of Android and iOS.

Currently, Epic Games is unveiling some fresh features that could draw more enthusiasts and creators towards their platform. To kick things off, they’ve incorporated 20 new third-party games, such as Blade of God X: Orisols, Evoland 2, and LEGO Fortnite: Brick Life, which are accessible now. Games like Solo Leveling: Arise, Eastern Exorcist, Trailer Park Boys: Greasy Money, MR Racer, and the Double Dragon Trilogy will soon be joining the lineup. The most thrilling news for gamers is that two games, Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee and Bloons TD 6 , are now free on Epic Games Store. These mobile-friendly titles, Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee and Bloons TD 6, can be claimed until February 20. In the future, the mobile Epic Games Store will regularly provide free games monthly, with an intention to switch to a weekly distribution later in the year.

On the platform, users now have access to fresh additions, one of which is the Epic Login feature. This allows players’ statuses to remain consistent across both Android and iOS devices. Additionally, the mobile app now includes an auto-update function. This means that instead of spending time on updates, players can focus more on enjoying their games. However, it’s important to note that while the global Android users can access the Epic Games Store, only European Union iOS users can currently download the store due to Apple preventing its availability in the US.

Epic Games Offers Respite to Developers

Besides enhancing the platform’s attractiveness for gamers, Epic is also motivating game developers and aiding them in navigating existing charges. Epic is providing an 88/12 revenue split for transactions handled, no charge on external payments, and a royalty reduction from 5% to 3.5% for games created using Unreal Engine that are published on Epic Games Store simultaneously or before their release on other platforms. Additionally, Epic is prepared to cover Apple’s Core Technology Fee, a charge of €0.50 per download for apps surpassing one million downloads. Epic contends that not only do Apple and Google’s warning screens, but also the Apple fee, discourages many developers from launching games on their service. This new initiative may help alleviate this issue.
