Epic Games Launches Mobile Store, Fortnite Returns to iOS and Android in EU
Aug 16, 2024, 12:03 PM
Epic Games has launched its Epic Games Store on mobile platforms, marking a significant development in the digital app marketplace. This launch allows Fortnite to return to iOS devices in the European Union and Android worldwide after a four-year absence due to a legal battle with Apple. The move is facilitated by the EU's Digital Markets Act, which mandates more open app ecosystems. Epic's CEO, Tim Sweeney, revealed that the company spent approximately $1 billion in its legal fight against Apple and Google, but he believes it was worthwhile. The new store also includes popular games like Fall Guys, Rocket League, and offers the Katalina Outfit as a reward. Additionally, Epic's games are available on AltStore PAL. This development represents a challenge to Apple's App Store dominance, offering more freedom and choice for developers and users in the EU.
