- Epic Games challenges Apple’s dominance with a new iOS app store in the European Union, marking a significant competition for Apple’s App Store.
- The Epic Games Store will start by offering Epic’s games, including Fortnite, and plans to onboard third-party developers by December, with a lower commission rate of 12% compared to Apple’s 30%.
- Epic CEO Tim Sweeney argues that competition will improve the mobile gaming industry by forcing Apple to enhance pricing, features, and marketing strategies.
- The launch leverages the EU’s Digital Markets Act, which mandates that tech giants allow alternative app stores, showcasing the potential for regulatory changes to stimulate competition.
- Despite the challenges of a cumbersome installation process and resistance from developers, Epic is advocating for similar changes in the U.S. to combat monopolization in the app market.
