Hey there, gaming enthusiasts! 🚀 We've got some electrifying news straight from the world of Epic Games. You know how Epic's been planning to bring their digital storefront to mobile devices? Well, the wait is finally over! The Epic Games Store is now officially available on iOS and Android devices. Let's dive into the juicy details.
Epic Games Store Now on Mobile
Epic Games just made a massive move by bringing the Epic Games Store (EGS) to your pockets. Whether you're rocking an Android or an iPhone, the EGS is ready for download. But there's a slight twist for iOS users—right now, it's only available for those in the European Union. Android users, however, can jump on the bandwagon globally.
Epic didn’t shy away from pointing out the hurdles in installing the store, thanks to Apple and Google making the process a bit of a headache. They’ve described it as "intentionally poor-quality install experiences," with complicated settings, loads of steps, and those annoying "scare screens" we all love to hate.
Why Is This a Big Deal?
For starters, this marks the first time a game-focused, multi-platform store is making its way to both iOS and Android devices. Epic's extending its reach beyond just PC and Mac, offering developers the same fair deal with that sweet 88/12 revenue split. This move is not just a win for Epic, but also for game developers and us—the gamers!
Fortnite Is Back on Mobile!
Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for: Fortnite is officially back on mobile! 🎉 After being pulled from the App Store and Google Play back in 2020, Fortnite is making a grand return, but this time through the Epic Games Store mobile version. EU users can also get their hands on it via the AltStore, another third-party digital storefront.
And it’s not just Fortnite. Epic’s bringing more heavy hitters like Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe to mobile devices. Fall Guys, which was a massive hit on consoles and PC, is finally getting its mobile debut. Talk about leveling up the mobile gaming scene!
What Does This Mean for Gamers?
This is a game-changer, literally. With the EGS on mobile, we're looking at a more competitive and diverse gaming ecosystem. Tim Sweeney, Epic Games' CEO, put it perfectly when he said, "The tide is turning, and the mobile ecosystem is finally opening up to competition." European iOS users and all Android users can now experience what we've been enjoying on PC and Mac for years.
What’s Next?
While this is a huge step forward, Epic isn’t stopping here. They’ve got their eyes set on expanding and pushing for even more competition in the mobile gaming space. So, buckle up—there's more excitement on the horizon!
That’s all for now, folks. Whether you’re a die-hard Fortnite fan or just excited to see what else Epic has in store, it’s time to fire up your mobile devices and dive into the Epic Games Store. Happy gaming! 🎮
