The Epic Games Store is one of the most popular digital game stores with millions of users from around the world. Gamers’ favorite platform has gained such popularity by giving away free games.
However, the Epic Games Store has one major shortcoming: It doesn’t have a mobile store. Steam, its biggest competitor, stands out in this regard. This has been a point of criticism for Epic Games. However, according to the latest developments, Epic Games Store mobile app is on the way. Here are the details…
Epic Games Store will be available on Android and iOS
The game store didn’t have a mobile app because Apple was demanding a 30 percent commission from the Epic Games Store. The company had been waiting for years for the litigation with Apple to end, as it wanted to serve both sides at the same time, rather than only offering the app for Android. Fortunately, the fight is over.
According to the Epic Games Store’s official X (Twitter) account, the game store’s mobile app will be released for both iOS and Android. There is no clear date for this, but the end of the year was pointed out.
Intel will receive an $8.5 billion fund from the U.S. government under the CHIPS Act. How will it expand chip manufacturing facilities.
The company will receive a 12 percent commission from developers who want to publish games on its mobile store, just as it does on its desktop store. In other words, 88 percent of the money earned will remain with the publisher. For comparison, Steam gets a 30 percent commission on every game sale. Accordingly, we can say that the Epic Games Store pays developers at a higher rate.
