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

Epic Games Store's Mobile App Gets a Massive Upgrade

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

The first wave of third-party titles marks a key milestone for the mobile storefront. Equally important is the introduction of Epic's free game program. This month's free offering is Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, available until February 20th, followed by Bloons TD6.

A focus on cross-platform functionality is evident. Users can access their Epic accounts seamlessly across Android and iOS devices, and an automatic update feature ensures game libraries remain current.

A Strategic Move

Epic Games' commitment to its mobile storefront is undeniable. While the PC version has faced challenges competing with Steam, the free games initiative on mobile presents a compelling strategy. Their developer-friendly revenue-sharing model remains a key differentiator in their ongoing competition with Apple.
