Get ready for even more free games! Epic Games has big plans to bring its wildly successful free game program to the mobile version of the Epic Games Store. This move has the potential to be a game-changer for mobile gamers.
The Epic Games Store’s free game program has been a massive hit, driving a significant increase in the platform’s user base. The number of monthly active users (MAUs) skyrocketed from 160 million in 2020 to a whopping 230 million in 2022. A large part of this surge is directly attributed to users signing up to claim the free games Epic regularly offers.
Now, this same enticing program is coming to mobile devices. And thanks to a recent court decision requiring Google to allow competing app stores within the Google Play Store, Android users will be able to access these free mobile games seamlessly, without needing to download anything extra.
At the Unreal Fest 2024 in Seattle, Steve Allison, general manager of the Epic Games Store, shared more details and a timeline for the program’s launch. While specifics are still under wraps, the excitement is palpable. This development could fundamentally change the mobile gaming landscape, giving players even more control over where and how they access their favorite games.
