Steve Allison, manager of the Epic Games Store, revealed within the framework of Unreal Fest 2024 that the mobile version of this store will receive 10 to 50 video games from other licensees. This will happen during the Christmas and New Year holiday season.
Among the first titles confirmed to arrive is Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition by Studio Wildcard. It is in this way that it aims to offer an alternative to other digital stores.
Allison also revealed that a free video game program for the Epic Games Store for mobile will begin in the last quarter of 2024. This will work in the same way, and will include select software.
We recommend: Qualcomm and Epic Games bring Unreal Engine to the interior of cars.
The idea behind this is to draw the attention of players so that they take it into account as a valid option. Regarding publishers and developers, basic and useful features are also being implemented.
The Epic Games Store for mobile will include self-publishing tools. According to Steve Allison, they will be available in the first half of 2025, although preferably it will be as close to January as possible.
Regarding social and party features, such as in-game chat and cross-platform, they are also in development. The idea is to implement the above as soon as possible to move forward.
That’s why Allison stood out. ‘When all three of those things are together we’re off to the races’. Currently the mobile version of the Epic Games Store only has three video games. These are Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe and Fall Guys Mobile.
This store began operating in August 2024 and the plan has always been to expand it with more content. So it is only a matter of time before this objective is achieved.
