Patcay.com – There’s good news for mobile game lovers in the European Union (EU)! Epic Games, the company behind the phenomenal Fortnite game, plans to bring the Epic Games Store (EGS) to iOS and Android devices in the EU by the end of 2024. This means that users in Europe will have a new option to download and purchase games in addition to native app stores such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
EGS’ presence in the European mobile space is driven by a new EU regulation called the Digital Markets Act (DMA). This law aims to create fairer competition in the digital world by requiring tech giants like Apple and Google to allow third-party app stores on their platforms.
With the arrival of EGS Mobile, gamers in Europe are expected to have a wider selection of games. EGS is also known for its revenue share, which is more favorable to game developers than other app stores. This could potentially make game prices more competitive and encourage developers to bring their games to EGS Mobile.
