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 new third-party titles and the highly anticipated launch of their free games program for Android globally and iOS within the European Union.

This expansion marks a key milestone for the mobile storefront. The arrival of numerous third-party games, coupled with the introduction of the free games program, promises to significantly enhance the user experience. This month's free offering is Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, available until February 20th, followed by Bloons TD6.

A focus on cross-platform integration is also a core component of this update. Users can now seamlessly access their Epic accounts across both Android and iOS devices, maintaining consistent progress. A new automatic update feature ensures users always have the latest versions of their games.

A Strategic Move

Epic Games' commitment to its mobile storefront is evident. While the Epic Games Store has faced challenges competing with Steam on PC, the free games initiative on mobile presents a compelling strategy. This approach also aligns with Epic's stated goal of supporting developers through its revenue-sharing model, a key element in its ongoing dispute with Apple.
