Epic Games Store launches free game programme and third-party titles

Epic Games Store's Mobile App Receives a Major Update

The Epic Games Store mobile application has undergone a significant upgrade, introducing a wave of new features and content. This update includes the addition of nearly 20 third-party games and the highly anticipated launch of their free games program for Android globally and iOS within the European Union.

This expansion brings a substantial boost to the mobile storefront's game library. The current free offering is Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, available until February 20th, followed by Bloons TD6.

A key focus of this update is cross-platform functionality. 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.

Epic's Mobile Strategy

Epic Games' commitment to its mobile storefront is evident. While the PC version may lag behind Steam, the free games initiative on mobile presents a compelling draw for gamers. Their developer-friendly revenue-sharing model continues to be a key differentiator in their competition with Apple.
