If you are an Android user and you play Fortnite, surely you have noticed that the most popular video game of the moment is not in the Play Store, but you have to download it through the official Epic website Games, the company that developed the game. And it is that Epic decided not to include its game in the Google store since it kept a percentage of sales through the app. Now, Epic Games wants to bring its own game store to Android.
The company has announced that Epic Games Store will be available on platforms like Windows, Mac and also on Android later in 2019 .The store will allow you to download or buy the different own games, such as Fortnite, but also others created by different developers. It would be a way to compete against other video game stores, such as Steam or even Google Play itself, which also has a games section.
As for the details of the store, it seems that Epic will keep a percentage of the profits made by the different games Specifically, 12 percent. Epic Games Store will also have a news section, contact with developers and support and a section for content creators, where they can receive a part of the income to promote the game.
On Android as of 2019
At the moment there are no details about the design of the app or how it can be installed on our device.Epic Games will likely use the Fortnite method, download via browser and keep updated via installer We'll have to wait until 2019 to see how the Fortnite store will work Epic. Without a doubt, it is a very good way to keep the company's games updated and download or buy other titles more easily. We will have to see if the developers are encouraged to publish their video games in the store.
