The latest episode of the GI Microcast is now available for download and offers a quick look at the most important stories of the past week.
Our main topic this week is the launch of the Epic Games Store for mobile, bringing Fortnite back to Android and (in the EU) iOS four years after Epic’s legal battle with Apple and Google began. We discuss the potential of alternative mobile stores and Epic’s goal of reaching 100,000 installs by 2025, despite players having to go through 12-15 steps in each mobile ecosystem.
And in this week’s edition of What Do the Numbers Mean?, Chris takes a look at the long-awaited release date of Devolver Digital’s The Plucky Squire, two fairly large (and one very similar) games coming out at the same time as the game, and of course, sales numbers that provide a little more context.
Don’t forget, this is the first of daily podcasts we’ll be releasing throughout the week while the team is in Cologne for Devcom and Gamescom. We’ll have a guest interview tomorrow, and you can also tune into the official Devcom Twitch stream at 4pm CEST (5pm UK) to join our live Q&A show.
