19 Aug 2024

Epic Games has announced the exciting launch of the mobile version of its Epic Games Store (EGS), now available for both iOS and Android devices. While the store can be easily downloaded on Android devices worldwide, iPhone users will find it exclusively available for residents of the European Union.

Expanding Horizons

The Epic Games Store on mobile is a versatile multi-platform store that focuses on games, expanding its reach from PC and macOS to mobile platforms. Mobile game developers are set to benefit from the same revenue sharing terms as developers on other platforms, with an 88/12 split in favor of developers.

Installation Insights

For those interested in installing the mobile version of the store, Epic Games has provided detailed instructions. However, they caution that the installation process may take some time due to the complex settings required by Apple and Google. The company believes that the installation process is intentionally made challenging with lengthy steps and “scare screens”.

Fortnite's Triumphant Return

With the launch of the mobile Epic Games Store, Fortnite has made its official return to mobile devices through the store. Android and iOS players in the EU can also access Fortnite via the AltStore digital store. This marks the first time Fortnite has been available on mobile devices since its removal from the App Store and Google Play in 2020.

More Games on the Go

In addition to Fortnite, popular games Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe are now available on mobile devices. These games can be easily downloaded on Android devices worldwide and iPhones in the EU through the mobile version of EGS and AltStore. This also marks the first time Fall Guys has been available on mobile since its initial release in 2020.
