The launch of the Epic Games Store gives us a glimpse at what’s possible following the Digital Markets Act

Summary

Nutrition label

67% Informative

Epic Games Store launches on iOS and Android , as well as AltStore PAL third -party marketplace.

Epic Games' Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe , and Fall Guys Mobile are available on both platforms.

Epic seems keen for the sector to thrive, as it’s distributing its games through other marketplaces.

AltStore PAL doesn't host developers’ apps itself, it doesn’t take a cut of any downloads or eat into Epic ’s profit.

Epic therefore has little to lose but much to gain by distributing its games on its own store and other third -party marketplaces.

There's also a PR element to Epic 's actions as it courts the favor of regulators in the EU , UK , and US who are actively looking into antitrust complaints against Apple and Google .
