Epic Games Store will have more free games and game program

The Epic Games Store mobile store was launched recently and so far it is only focusing on the company’s games, mainly the most famous ones like Fortnite, Fall Guys and Rocket League. However, she will start receiving news very soon.

It turns out that the general manager of the Epic Games Store, Steve Allison, was at the Unreal Fest event that took place in Seattle, and officially revealed that the company has some interesting plans for the store until the end of this year.

The first big news is that the Epic Games Store for mobile will start receiving new third-party games, and it is expected that 10 to 50 new games will arrive during this period. One of the highlights announced for this expansion is Ark: Ultimate Mobile Editionwhich will be available as part of the new library.

The second big news is that they are planning to launch a free games program for players using mobile devices as well.

This is because the Epic store for computers already has a similar program, where it offers free games every Thursday. In the case of the mobile program, the expectation is that it will start to become available at the end of the year, according to mobilegamer.biz.

News also for developers

In addition to these new features for players on the store, Epic Games is also making an effort to improve the experience for developers who intend to publish their games on it.

Allison also spoke about the plan to launch a “self-publishing tool”, which promises to facilitate the entire process of submitting a game on the platform. It will allow developers to launch their games on the mobile store independently, without having to interact directly with the Epic Games team unless necessary. This type of process speeds up everything and it already happens in a similar way in the computer store.

This is a way to attract more developers to the platform and, consequently, increase the number of games offered there. At the same time, Epic has been fighting in court against large companies such as Google, Apple and Samsung so that its store has space to compete with already consolidated options such as the Play Store and the App Store.
