The Epic Games Store app has just arrived on Android, giving users a new option for downloading games aside from the Google Play Store and other platforms. Although the selection isn’t as large as what some competitors offer, Epic has promised that third-party games will be added soon.
Free Games Coming to Mobile
Moreover, Epic is set to introduce its popular free games initiative to the mobile platform. This was revealed at the Unreal Fest event, where the company noted that the free game program is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of this year. This move seems aimed at encouraging mobile gamers to try out this new third-party store.
Legal Action Against Tech Giants
In related news, Epic Games Store has recently initiated legal action against both Google and Samsung. The lawsuit claims that these two technology powerhouses are collaborating to suppress competition within the Android app marketplace.
While further details on the mobile free games program have yet to be released, it’s possible that users may receive free games on a weekly basis, similar to the offerings on the Epic Games Store for PC users.
Upcoming Third-Party Titles
Regarding third-party games, Epic Games mentioned that there will be "between 10 and 50" titles available during the initial launch phase. However, the company expressed concerns about the potential difficulties in establishing a payment system, which could delay the release of some of these games by several months.
