The Epic Games Store may quickly increase into the cell ecosystem.
Epic Games boss Tim Sweeney has revealed that the Epic Games Store is coming to Android, and that he hopes to additionally deliver it to iOS.
The CEO informed Gamespot that it desires to deliver the identical philosophy of developer freedom to cell.
“We’d like to bring the [Epic Games] Store to iOS in the future, and we will bring it to Android,” stated Sweeney. “We think it’s a good way to help the industry [move] forward and it’s another way where Epic as a game developer had built up this audience around Fortnite and learned how to operate a distribution platform on PC and Android.”
“Now, as we’ve done with many things from the Unreal Engine to the Epic Online services, we open it up to all other developers to use with their games and are trying to serve the industry and provide a really interesting alternative to the ecosystem,” he added.
Indeed, the Fortnite Android launcher is now merely referred to as the Epic Games App. Android, particularly, does enable for third-party-operated shops to exist on the platform. Amazon, Samsung and lots of different firms have their very own separate shops on Android, one thing you can’t do on iOS.
It would make sense for the app dealing with Fortnite to increase right into a full-on retailer. Epic’s lengthy game is to make its tech and companies ubiquitous. The writer not too long ago made the matchmaking and account services Fortnite uses free to Unreal Engine developers who need to use it, so there’s no cause it’ll cease there.
