Epic Games has launched its own app store on iOS and Android. The store has launched with studio’s biggest titles like Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe and all-new Fall Guys for mobile. EGS is also bringing its games to third-party mobile stores including AltStore PAL.
Epic Games Store has thanked Digital Markets Act for launching on iOS devices in the European Union. They have also stated that Apple is still blocking all other iOS users outside of Europe from accessing Fortnite and Epic Games Store for iOS.
Epic Games Store stated they continue to fight in courts and work with regulators to eliminate the anticompetitive terms that Apple and Google impose on developers and consumers. EGS stated that the process of installing the store on iOS and Android is lengthy due to restrictions imposed by these companies.
While the legal battle continues, EGS is focused on making the installation process as smooth as possible for users in available regions.
EGS has shared videos about how to install their store on mobile devices.

EGS is also working with developers to launch their games and apps through the store in the future. They are partnering with third party mobile app stores to expand their reach in the marketplace.
The company is initially launching its games on AltStore PAL for iOS users in the European Union. They are also planning to bring their games to Aptoide‘s iOS store in the EU and ONE Store on Android.
“The tide is turning and the mobile ecosystem is finally opening up to competition. We are grateful to the European Commission for making it possible to launch the Epic Games Store and offer our games to iOS users in the European Union.
Now European iOS users and all Android users can access our store and games, as they’ve always been able to do on open platforms like PC and Mac. The fight is far from over, but this is tangible progress for developers and consumers who can begin to benefit from competition and choice.”
Tim Sweeney, CEO and Founder, Epic Games.
