Epic Games Store Launches on Mobile Devices

Epic Games has launched its Epic Games Store on Android globally and for iOS users in the European Union, marking a significant move in the mobile gaming industry following a four-year legal battle with Apple and Google. This launch includes popular titles such as Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe, with cross-platform account progression supported. Epic's efforts are fueled by the Digital Markets Act, which promotes fair competition and enables the launch on iOS in the EU, while Android users can sideload apps more freely. The ongoing legal disputes highlight the company's challenge against the 30% commission fees imposed by both tech giants on in-app purchases. Epic aims to expand its mobile storefront to include games from other developers and continue advocating for a more open app distribution ecosystem. However, iOS users outside the EU remain unable to access the Epic Games Store, illustrating the limitations still faced by the company.
