In a continued effort to attract more developers to its platform, Epic Games has unveiled a new program called ‘Launch Everywhere.’ This initiative aims to reduce royalty rates for eligible games from 5% to 3.5% across all stores and platforms.
To qualify for this enticing offer, developers must first launch their Unreal Engine game on the Epic Games Store simultaneously with, or before, its release on any other platform. This includes PC, Mac, Android, and, in the future, iOS.
Epic Games Store General Manager, Steve Allison, explains the program’s benefits: “When you Launch Everywhere with the Epic Games Store, you benefit everywhere you launch your game. This means eligible games will get their rate reduction across all stores, including Steam, and all platforms where you offer your game, including consoles.”
This program presents a compelling opportunity for developers, offering them a substantial financial incentive to embrace the Epic Games Store. By launching on the Epic Games Store, developers gain access to its vast user base and can potentially see increased sales and revenue.
With this new program, Epic Games demonstrates its commitment to fostering a thriving development community. The ‘Launch Everywhere’ initiative signifies a significant step towards attracting more developers and further expanding the reach of the Epic Games Store.
