Third-Party Games Have Arrived On Epic Games Store Mobile

For years, Epic Games has fought with Apple and Google in court for the right to expand the Epic Games Store on mobile. While some of those legal battles remain ongoing, Epic is taking a big step forward in mobile gaming by adding 19 third-party games to the Epic Games Store.

In an announcement on the Epic Games site, the company announced that the new mobile arrivals will begin with Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee being offered for free on Android and iOS now through February 20. Bloons TD 6 will also be offered for free in the future, and Epic notes that other titles will be available monthly before the free games schedule goes weekly later this year.

The following titles are the new games currently available on Epic Games Store. Note that certain games may not be available for both iOS and Android, and that Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee is not available in Russia.

• Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee
• Evoland 2
• Figment 1
• Hidden Folks
• Idle Champions
• Pilgrims
• Out There
• Shapez
• Samorost 2
• Samorost 3
• Super Meat Boy Forever
• Super Space Club
• There Is No Game
• Firestone Idle RPG (only on iOS)
• Gigapocalypse (only on iOS)
• Blade of God X (only on Android)
• Mafia City (only on Android)
• Office Fight (only on Android)
• The Grand Mafia (only on Android)

As part of the announcement, Epic touted its terms with third-party developers, which include an 88/12 revenue split for payments processed through the app and 0% on third-party payments. The recently debuted Launch Everywhere with Epic program reduces the royalty rate from 5% to 3.5% on all platforms for eligible Unreal Engine games that debut on the Epic Games Store at the same time or before being released elsewhere.

Recently, two members of Epic's board of directors were forced to step down by the US Justice Department because they were already members of Tencent's board, which the government considers a rival gaming company. Epic is also suing an alleged cheater whom the company claims has used unauthorized software to gain an unfair advantage during several of the company's Fortnite tournaments.
