In the ongoing saga between Epic Games and tech giant Apple, one thing has become abundantly clear: Epic is determined to carve out its space in the mobile gaming market. While much attention has been focused on the dispute with Apple, recent developments suggest that Epic's ambitions extend beyond iOS. In a recent announcement on social media platform X, the Epic Games Store teased its imminent arrival on both iOS and Android platforms. Although details remain scarce, the prospect of Epic's marketplace making its debut on mobile devices has sparked excitement and speculation among gamers and developers alike.

The post from the Epic Games Store's official account not only confirmed the forthcoming launch on iOS and Android but also emphasized the company's commitment to fairness and inclusivity. Promising "Same fair terms, available to all developers, on a true multi-platform store — with amazing games for everyone", the announcement hinted at a business model that mirrors the developer-friendly approach seen on the desktop version of the Epic Games Store.

Epic's commitment to offering competitive revenue-sharing terms on mobile platforms could have far-reaching implications for the industry. By providing developers with a more substantial share of their earnings, Epic not only empowers individual creators but also fosters a healthier and more diverse ecosystem of mobile games.

Despite the anticipation surrounding the Epic Games Store's expansion to iOS and Android, key details such as the exact launch date and specific terms for developers remain shrouded in mystery. Nonetheless, the prospect of a new player entering the mobile gaming market with a focus on fairness and accessibility is undoubtedly a development worth monitoring closely.
