Epic will bring Fortnite to third-party iOS app stores

Epic Games plans to bring Fifteen days for the third-party iOS app store AltStore PAL, which is only available in the EU. The company made the announcement in a blog post from Thursday about its strategy for mobile stores and says it expects to announce support for “at least two other third-party stores soon.”

Although Epic says it plans to “bring our own games to mobile, including Fifteen days to other mobile stores offering great deals to all developers,” did not provide a specific timeline. In addition to Fifteen daysEpic also plans to bring Rocket League Side Scam to AltStore PAL, said spokeswoman Natalie Munoz On the edge.

When reached for comment, AltStore’s Riley Testut pointed to Epic’s post and said that “we are very excited to bring Fifteen days and much more for AltStore PAL.”

The company is also working to bring Fifteen days for iOS in the EU, which it says will happen “soon”, and launching its own app store on iOS and Android.

Epic also announced that “we will terminate distribution partnerships with mobile stores that act as rent collectors without robustly competing and serving all developers fairly, even if these stores offer us a special offer for our own games.” Presumably, Epic is talking about Apple and Google here, given the company’s disputes with both companies over their app store practices. Munoz declined to comment.

Epic also plans to withdraw Fifteen days and other applications (Rocket League Side Scam It is After party, according to Munoz) from Samsung’s Galaxy Store. The company cites two factors to explain why. One of them is Samsung’s “Auto Blocker” feature, which blocks sideloading by default (although you can disable the feature, according to 9to5Google). Another is “public revelations in the US Epic v. Google on Google’s ongoing proposals to Samsung to restrict competition in the Android app distribution market,” presumably referring to initiatives like Project Banyan, which Google backed out of.

Apple, Google and Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Update, July 25: Added details from Epic about which apps will be removed from the Galaxy Store.
