Epic Games Store Mobile Gets a Massive Upgrade
The Epic Games Store mobile app is undergoing a significant transformation. This update includes the addition of nearly 20 new third-party games and, most notably, the launch of their popular free games program for Android globally and iOS within the European Union.
This expansion brings a wave of third-party titles to the mobile storefront, complemented by the highly anticipated free game program. The current free offering is Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, available until February 20th, followed by Bloons TD6.
A key feature of this update is enhanced cross-platform integration. Users can now seamlessly access their Epic accounts and game progress across both Android and iOS devices. An automatic update feature ensures users always have the latest versions of their games.
A Strategic Move
Epic Games' commitment to its mobile storefront is evident. While the Epic Games Store has faced challenges competing with Steam on PC, the free games initiative on mobile presents a compelling strategy. This approach also aligns with Epic's stated goal of supporting developers through its generous revenue-sharing model, a key element in its ongoing dispute with Apple.
