Epic Games Store launches on mobile devices


Epic Games Store launches on mobile devices

Just over four years ago, Fortnite was removed from the App Store and Google Play for attempting to bypass Apple and Google’s payment systems for in-game purchases of its in-game currency, V-Bucks. The game studio began a long legal battle against Apple and Google that brought us today to the official launch of the Epic Games Store for iOS and Android.

Fortnite is officially back on mobile for Android users worldwide and iOS users in the EU. There’s also Rocket League Sideswipe and Fall Guys, with the latter making its official debut on mobile. You’ll need an iPhone running iOS 17.6, while the system requirement for Android is Android 7.0 or higher. The download file is 25MB. Epic confirmed that Fortnite and Fall Guys will have full functionality and cross-platform account progression.

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 have always been able to on open platforms like PC and Mac. The battle is far from over, but this is tangible progress for developers and consumers who can start to benefit from competition and choice.” – Tim Sweeney, CEO and Founder of Epic Games

Epic Games’ mobile titles are also available on AltStore PAL starting today, and will soon be available on the Aptoide Store for iOS and the One Store for Android. Epic also plans to offer its games on additional third-party app stores in the future. Epic also plans to launch exclusive games for its mobile store.
