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

Epic Games Store Mobile Gets a Massive Upgrade

The Epic Games Store mobile app is undergoing a significant transformation. This update includes the addition of nearly 20 new third-party games and the highly anticipated launch of their popular free games program.

This expansion brings a wave of third-party titles to the mobile storefront for the first time, alongside the introduction of the free games program to Android globally and the European Union for iOS. This month's free game is Dungeon of the Endless: Apogee, available until February 20th, followed by Bloons TD6.

A key feature of this update is improved cross-platform functionality. Users can now seamlessly access their Epic accounts and game libraries across both Android and iOS devices. An automatic update feature ensures game libraries remain current.

A Strategic Move

Epic Games' commitment to its mobile storefront is evident. While the PC version may have lagged behind Steam, the free games program offers a compelling incentive for mobile gamers. Their revenue-sharing model, a key differentiator in their ongoing dispute with Apple, further highlights their developer-centric approach.
