The Epic Games Store has made its way into the mobile gaming space, and starting today, both Android and iOS users in Europe are able to download the Epic Games Store for mobile devices. This opens up a whole new world of gaming opportunities for mobile users, including access to popular titles like Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and the brand-new mobile version of Fall Guys.
One of the most exciting aspects of this launch is the updated version of Fortnite for iOS, marking the first update in four years. This update comes just in time for the Marvel-themed Absolute Doom event, adding a new level of excitement for players. Additionally, the mobile version of Fall Guys has finally arrived, allowing players to enjoy the popular game on the go. The best part is that all cosmetic items will carry over, and players can enjoy full cross-progression and cross-platform play between the mobile and console/PC versions.
Transition for Android Users
For Android users, the transition from the old Epic Games Launcher to the Epic Games Store for mobile is significant. The previous launcher only allowed users to install and update Fortnite and Rocket League Sideswipe, but now, with the new mobile store, players have access to a wide range of games from various developers and publishers. While Android users will need to sideload the Epic Games Store, this process is simple and can be done by any Android device.
Unfortunately, iOS users outside of Europe will not have access to the Epic Games Store for mobile due to restrictions imposed by the European Union’s Digital Markets Act. In the US, Epic’s games, including Fortnite, remain off of iOS devices as a result of the ongoing legal battle between Epic and Apple. While decisions in other territories like the UK and Japan are pending, players in Europe are the first to benefit from this new mobile store.
To encourage players to try out the new Epic Games Store for mobile, Epic is offering free unlocks across Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe. Players can earn exclusive rewards like the Katalina skin and accessories in Fortnite, a holographic bean skin for Fall Guys, and a gold-painted Diestro car for Rocket League Sideswipe. These rewards can be earned by completing specific tasks in each game and are available until November 2.
Overall, the expansion of the Epic Games Store to mobile users in Europe is a significant milestone for the gaming community. With popular titles like Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe now available on mobile devices, players can enjoy their favorite games wherever they go. The addition of free rewards and incentives further enhances the gaming experience for mobile users, making the Epic Games Store for mobile a compelling option for gamers in Europe.
