Epic Games has finally released the Epic Games Store on Android worldwide and on iOS in the European Union. The store release comes alongside Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and the new Fall Guys for mobile devices.
The company also states that it is currently working to give all developers the opportunity to release their games and apps on mobile devices in the Epic Games Store in the future. In addition, Epic also offers all its games to other independent mobile stores, such as AltStore PAL.
For the time being, it is not possible to release the iOS store outside the European Union, as Apple continues to limit the ability of developers to offer alternative payment methods or alternative stores on its platform worldwide. In the EU, this was possible thanks to the Digital Markets Act (DMA).
Epic Games also notes that the installation process is currently quite long because Apple and Google have implemented “an intentionally poor installation process burdened with multiple steps, confusing device settings, and scare screens.”
The company has released two YouTube videos with instructions on how to install the Epic Games Store on mobile devices. Instructions for iOS can be found at this link and for Android at this link.
