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

Epic Games Store Mobile Gets a Massive Upgrade

The Epic Games Store mobile app is undergoing a significant transformation. This update includes the addition of nearly 20 third-party games and, most importantly, the launch of their popular free games program for Android globally and iOS within the European Union.

This expansion brings a wave of new third-party titles to the mobile storefront. The free game program kicks off with Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, available for free until February 20th, followed by Bloons TD6.

A key feature of this update is enhanced cross-platform integration. Users can now access their Epic account and game progress seamlessly across Android and iOS devices. An automatic update feature ensures game libraries are always current.

A Strategic Move

Epic's commitment to its mobile storefront is evident. While the Epic Games Store might trail behind Steam on PC, the free games initiative is a compelling strategy for mobile. This approach also aligns with Epic's developer-friendly revenue-sharing model, a key point in their ongoing dispute with Apple.
