Epic Games has launched three popular games – Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe—on mobile devices and the AltStore. This means players can now enjoy these games on their iPhones and Android devices.
What Does This Launch Mean?
For mobile gamers, this launch opens up new ways to play. Fortnite is a well-known battle royale game where players fight to be the last one standing. Fall Guys is a fun party game filled with mini-games and obstacles. Rocket League Sideswipe brings the excitement of soccer with cars to phones. All these games can now be played on the go.
Launching on Mobile Devices
As of August 16, 2024, the Epic Games Store is available for download. Players in the European Union can install the store on their iPhones. Players worldwide can download the store on Android devices. This gives many players access to Epic’s popular games on mobile for the first time.
How to Download
To download the Epic Games Store, players must follow a few steps. For iPhone users in the European Union, they can find instructions on the Epic Games website. Android users can also visit the website to download the store. After downloading, players can start enjoying Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe right away.
More Games in the Future
Epic Games is not just stopping with these three titles. There are plans to bring additional games and apps to the Epic Games Store. This will make the store grow and offer even more fun experiences for players.
The Role of AltStore
Epic Games is also working with AltStore, an independent app store for iOS users. AltStore allows people to download apps and games that are not available on the official App Store. This is especially important for players outside of the European Union. For those players, accessing Epic Games and its titles is a challenge due to restrictions.
AltStore PAL became available on the same day as the mobile launch. This allows iOS users in the EU to download games from AltStore. Epic Games aims to make games more accessible by using this platform.
Challenges Faced
Even with these new options, there are challenges. The process of installing the Epic Games Store is complicated for both iOS and Android users. Apple and Google have set up barriers that make the installation experience hard to manage. Users must deal with many steps and confusing settings. Epic Games is trying to improve this but the process is still difficult.
Epic’s Fight for Fair Access
Epic Games is fighting against these restrictions. They believe that players should have freedom when it comes to downloading and enjoying games. The company is battling in court to change how app stores work. They want to remove rules that they see as unfair. This fight is important for all developers and consumers.
Benefits for Players
This launch is a big step for gamers everywhere. More options mean more competition. This can lead to better games and better experiences for everyone. Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games, expressed gratitude to the European Commission for allowing this launch. He hopes this is just the beginning of a better gaming environment.
Ready to Play
With the Epic Games Store now available, players can jump right into their favorite games. Fortnite offers unique building mechanics and thrilling battles. Fall Guys provides a colorful and chaotic atmosphere with fun challenges. Rocket League Sideswipe combines skillful soccer gameplay with vehicles.
Players can also access updates and new content as they are released. Fortnite, for example, is known for its regular events and seasonal updates. Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe will also receive ongoing content to keep players engaged.
Conclusion
The launch of Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe on mobile devices marks an exciting time for gamers. With access to the Epic Games Store and AltStore, players can experience these beloved games in new ways. Although challenges remain, the future looks bright for mobile gaming fans. Epic Games is committed to expanding options and creating a better gaming experience for everyone.
