What just happened? The Epic Games Store has debuted on iPhone within the European Union and Android devices worldwide. The launch marks a new chapter in the ongoing battle for a more open and competitive digital marketplace, driven by Epic’s desire to break the duopoly of Apple and Google.
The mobile store launch comes with a trio of multiplayer games – Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and the debut of a mobile-optimized Fall Guys.
These games are now available globally through the Epic Games Store on Android. The iPhone version of the store is only accessible in the EU for now, thanks to the regulatory framework provided by the Digital Markets Act.
The act, designed to foster competition and innovation in the digital space, has opened the door for this shift but is only enforceable in the European Union.
