Epic is bringing its Games Store to iOS and Android platforms،
One of the largest digital distribution online stores, Epic Games Store, will soon be available on iOS and Android platforms. THE announcement was released earlier today on Twitter as a teaser, but no further details were provided by the official Epic Games Store account.
And since we are talking about a distribution store, Epic could not miss the opportunity to take on Apple. The teaser claims that the upcoming Epic Games Store for mobile devices will offer “the same level playing field, available to all developers, on a true cross-platform store – with incredible games for everyone.”
Epic and Apple have been feuding over App Store fees for many years. The conflict between the two giants culminated when Apple decided to remove Fortnite from the App Store.
Even after the EU Digital Markets Act came into force earlier this month, Apple defied the new regulations and removed the Epic account from its store. Even though the account was reinstated after a few days (and a costly bill in the form of a €2 billion fine), it appears that Apple continues to play by its own rules.
Currently, Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store are the largest and most popular app stores for Android and iOS devices, but a third alternative is definitely a good thing for developers, especially if The Epic Games Store has lower fees than the other two.
