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

Epic Games Store's Mobile App Receives a Major Upgrade

Get ready for a significantly enhanced mobile experience with the Epic Games Store! A major overhaul is bringing nearly 20 new third-party games to the platform, alongside the popular free games program. This expansion marks a significant step for Epic, bringing their free game offerings to Android globally and iOS within the European Union.

This month's free game is Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, available until February 20th. Following this, Bloons TD6 will take its place. The update also introduces improved cross-platform functionality, allowing users to seamlessly access their Epic accounts and game libraries across Android and iOS devices. An automatic update feature ensures your game collection remains current.

A Strategic Move by Epic

Epic's commitment to its mobile storefront is evident. While facing challenges in the PC market against Steam, the introduction of free games is a smart strategy to attract mobile gamers. Their developer-friendly revenue-sharing model also remains a key differentiator, particularly in their ongoing disputes with Apple.
