Just announced at GDC

 

[jshackles]

Wait, is it coming to iOS outside of Europe? Isn't that what all the big lawsuits and EU rulings have been about?

 

[Quasicat]

I know GDC is watched by people throughout the world…did they mention Europe at all or is it open for everyone?

[RaZoR No1]

Wow thats Epic...

So can my kids play fortnite on their Ipads yet or what?

 

[Magic Carpet]

I can use my iphone to redeem the free games!
I'm going to buy Avatar Pandora eventually. I think

 

[Fredrik]

This will open the floodgates for more stores.

 

[Magic Carpet]

The Nintendo store, buy nd play Switch games on your iPhone?

No, it's EU only for iOS.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Sigh, wish we got this in NA.

Clearly Apple will only concede an inch if legally forced to, and even then try to sabotage it as much as they can get away with.

No but you can bet that Microsoft will launch their own store and Gamepass mobile version. Valve could do something as well and Meta.

“Same fair terms” Good

Isn't this the same as the Steam app for iOS and Android?

 

[jshackles]

Based on their tweet, it seems they'll be selling mobile games through it. So different from the Steam app that's just a way to manage your PC games / friends.

 

[Coloress_Kafka]

No, it's EU only for iOS.

iPhone only as well. iPad market share wasn’t enough for it to be included in the DMA.

 

[hemo memo]

No, it's EU only for iOS.

 

[theHFIC]

Looking forward to this making as small a dent on the mobile industry as their store did with the PC industry. Typical Epic L.

 

[dorkimoe]

oh good now we are going to have different platforms on mobile. yay

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

stop hating on Tim. he is fighthing the good fight for all of us. I hope he dethrones Gabe.

He's in Australia fighting that good fight acording to the Unreal Livestream.

 

[hemo memo]

C’mon Apple just do a Type-C move and make this universal.

I own more apple products than I can count and I am disgusted with how they are showing their true colors. So much so that I went out and bought my first Samsung S9Plus Tablet and am learning my way around having options!

[FullMetalx117]

but but but what about the walled garden?!?! Don't give me all these options, it's horrible. Apple knows best, can do what they want, should have a monopoly on the stores you can buy from on your phone

 

[mckmas8808]

Wow thats Epic...

It is actually lol

 

[azertydu91]

C’mon Apple just do a Type-C move and make this universal.

Isn't it already the case or is it just in EU?

 

[Generic]

stop hating on Tim. he is fighthing the good fight for all of us. I hope he dethrones Gabe.

This but unironically.

 

[Ozriel]

…aside from the millions of people who will download it for Fortnite?

 

[MayauMiao]

stop hating on Tim. he is fighthing the good fight for all of us. I hope he dethrones Gabe.

Please add /s as some may think you're being serious.

 

[SaintALia]

I remember being forced to install this for Unreal Engine installation. Do they even have enough IOS/Android games to justify a store unto themselves, or is it mostly just Fortnite and a few other games? Are they planning to do something different?

 

[ZehDon]

Having more choices for customers is always better. Fairer terms for developers, more options for customers to not get price gouged - people should care.

 

[The Pleasure]

Cool. Something else to ignore.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Piece of garbage infects other platforms.
