The Epic Games Store has made its way into the mobile space, allowing Android and iOS users in Europe to download the Epic Games Store for mobile. This new platform provides access to popular games such as Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and the newly released mobile version of Fall Guys. The arrival of the mobile version of Fall Guys is particularly exciting, as players can now enjoy the game on their phones with full cross-progression and cross-platform play.
With the introduction of the Epic Games Store on mobile devices, Android users will transition from the old Epic Games Launcher to this new platform. The Epic Games Store for mobile serves as an alternative app store, similar to the Amazon Appstore for Android, offering a variety of games from different developers and publishers. To install the Epic Games Store on mobile, Android users will need to sideload it, a process that any Android device can perform.
While European Android and iOS users can currently download the Epic Games Store for mobile, those in the US will not have access to Epic’s games, including Fortnite, on iOS devices due to the ongoing court battle with Apple. The European Union’s Digital Markets Act allows for the availability of the Epic Games Store in the region, but decisions in territories like the UK and Japan are still pending. Epic remains hopeful that similar rulings will be made in these areas, but for now, the changes only impact players in Europe.
To encourage players to try out the Epic Games Store for mobile, Epic is offering free unlocks and rewards across Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe. Players can earn the Katalina skin and various accessories in Fortnite, a holographic bean skin in Fall Guys, and a gold-painted Diestro car in Rocket League Sideswipe by completing specific in-game tasks. These rewards are available until November 2, providing players with additional incentives to explore the new mobile platform.
The expansion of the Epic Games Store to mobile devices in Europe brings exciting opportunities for players to enjoy popular games like Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe on their phones. With full cross-progression and cross-platform play, the Epic Games Store for mobile offers a seamless gaming experience for users. Despite limitations in other regions, the availability of free rewards and incentives makes this new platform a compelling option for mobile gamers.
