Epic Games expands free game program

Epic Games plans to expand its free game program on its mobile store. So far, the mobile version has focused on the brand’s core games like Fortnite and Fall Guys. However, this situation looks set to change soon.

According to the announcement made at the Unreal Fest event, Steve Allison, general manager of Epic Games Store, announced that they plan to add 10 to 50 new third-party games to the mobile version of the store and launch the free game program. It was stated that these innovations will be implemented in the last quarter of the year, that is, in the last period.

Allison emphasized that the free game program and new third-party games will be available to users in the last quarter of the year. During the opening speech of Unreal Fest, it was also announced that one of the games that will be available on Epic Games’ mobile store will be “Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition”.

With these developments, the company wants to make the process of uploading games to the store easier for game developers. Allison stated that developers will be offered “self-publishing tools.” Thanks to these tools, developers will be able to upload their games to the store without any intervention, as on the PC platform.

While Epic Games Store is available on Android devices worldwide, it is accessible within the European Union for iOS users. With this expansion, Epic Games aims to appeal to a larger audience in the mobile gaming market and make its store more attractive.

The free game program and the addition of new third-party games on Epic Games’ mobile store seem to make a significant contribution to the mobile gaming market. These innovations will offer attractive opportunities for both players and game developers. Offering free games, especially on the mobile platform, is considered an important step in expanding the user base.

Epic Games aims to increase ease of use

With this step, Epic Games aims to offer a wider range of games on the mobile platform and to increase the ease of use of the store. Increasing diversity, especially in the mobile gaming world, stands out as an important strategy that will strengthen the company’s competitive power.
