Epic Games Store Launches on Mobile

Just over four years ago, Fortnite was removed from the App Store and Google Play for attempting to circumvent Apple and Google's payment systems for in-game purchases of its currency, V-Bucks. The game studio embarked on a lengthy legal battle against Apple and Google that led to the official launch of the Epic Games Store for iOS and Android today.

Fortnite is officially back on mobile for Android users worldwide and iOS users in the EU. It's also joined by Rocket League Sideswipe and Fall Guys, with the latter making its official mobile debut. You'll need an iPhone running iOS 17.6 while the Android system requirements are Android 7.0 or later. The download file is 25MB. Epic has confirmed that both Fortnite and Fall Guys offer full features and cross-platform account progression.

“The tide is turning and the mobile ecosystem is finally opening up to competition. We are grateful to the European Commission for making it possible to launch the Epic Games Store and bring our games to iOS users in the European Union. Now, European iOS users and all Android users can access our store and games, just as they always have on open platforms like PC and Mac. The fight is far from over, but this is tangible progress for developers and consumers who can start to benefit from competition and choice.” – Tim Sweeney, CEO and Founder of Epic Games

Epic also plans to bring its games to more third-party app stores in the future. Epic also plans to launch exclusive games for its mobile store.
