The Epic Games Store Launches on Mobile
16 de agosto de 2024
Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe All Coming to the Epic Games Store for iPhones and Android, and to AltStore
Today the Epic Games Store is available for download on iPhones in the European Union and on Android devices worldwide. The store is launching with Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe and the all-new Fall Guys for mobile, and we are working to enable all developers to launch their games and apps through the Epic Games Store in the future. We are also bringing our games to independent mobile stores including AltStore PAL today.
The Epic Games Store for iPhones in the European Union and Android Worldwide
Instructions on how to download and install the Epic Games Store on your mobile device are here for iOS users and here for Android users, and you can find more information about our first-party games on our Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe blogs. And don’t forget, Fortnite Battle Royale Chapter 5, Season 4: Absolute Doom launches today, which you’ll be able to enjoy on mobile and across all other platforms.
We’re launching on iOS devices in the European Union thanks to the Digital Markets Act, but Apple is still blocking all other iOS users outside of Europe from accessing Fortnite and Epic Games Store for iOS.
For now, the process of installing the Epic Games Store on iOS and Android is lengthy due to Apple and Google introducing intentionally poor-quality install experiences laden by multiple steps, confusing device settings, and scare screens. We are continuing to fight in courts and work with regulators around the globe to eliminate the anticompetitive terms that Apple and Google impose on developers and consumers, so we can build a better store for everyone.
Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe and Fall Guys on Third Party App Stores
We are partnering with third party mobile app stores to bring our games to any marketplace offering great terms for all developers. We’re starting by launching our games on AltStore PAL today for iOS users in the European Union. We also plan to bring our games to Aptoide’s iOS store in the EU and ONE Store on Android. We look forward to bringing our games to other stores around the world.
“The tide is turning and the mobile ecosystem is finally opening up to competition. We are grateful to the European Commission for making it possible to launch the Epic Games Store and offer our games to iOS users in the European Union. Now European iOS users and all Android users can access our store and games, as they've always been able to do on open platforms like PC and Mac. The fight is far from over, but this is tangible progress for developers and consumers who can begin to benefit from competition and choice,” said Tim Sweeney, CEO and Founder, Epic Games.
