The Epic Games Store has officially made its way into the mobile space, allowing Android and iOS users in Europe to download the store onto their devices. This new mobile version of the Epic Games Store offers access to popular games such as Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and the latest addition, Fall Guys. For iOS users, this marks the first updated version of Fortnite in four years, coinciding with the Marvel-centric Absolute Doom event. The release of Fall Guys on mobile is a significant highlight, as players can now enjoy the same game on their phones with full cross-progression and cross-platform play capabilities.
Android users will be transitioning from the old Epic Games Launcher to the new Epic Games Store for mobile. The previous launcher primarily focused on installing and updating Fortnite and Rocket League Sideswipe, whereas the new store aims to provide a wide range of games from various developers and publishers. Installing the Epic Games Store on Android devices will require users to sideload the app, a process that is accessible to any Android user.
In contrast, iOS users are facing certain restrictions when it comes to accessing the Epic Games Store for mobile. Currently, only European iPhones allow the installation of the store due to regulations outlined in the European Union’s Digital Markets Act. In the United States, Epic’s games, including Fortnite, remain unavailable on iOS devices due to the ongoing legal battle between Epic and Apple. Despite the uncertainties in other territories such as the UK and Japan, Epic remains optimistic about potential rulings that may enable access to the store in those regions.
To encourage players to try out the new Epic Games Store for mobile, Epic is offering free unlocks and rewards across Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe. Players can earn exclusive in-game items such as the Katalina skin and accessories in Fortnite, a holographic bean skin in Fall Guys, and a gold-painted Diestro car in Rocket League Sideswipe. These rewards can be obtained by playing the respective games and completing specific challenges. The promotion will run until November 2, giving players ample time to unlock these limited-time items.
Aside from the exciting release of the Epic Games Store on mobile, players can also delve into the latest updates in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4. The new season brings a host of new weapons, map changes, and additions to the battle pass, offering an immersive gaming experience for players across different platforms. With the expansion of the Epic Games Store into the mobile space, gamers can look forward to a seamless gaming experience and access to a diverse range of titles on their mobile devices.
