Epic Games has officially launched its own app store in the European Union, a project that has been in the works for years. With the rollout Fortnite returns to iOS in Europe for the first time since 2020, when it was banned for circumventing App Store policies, particularly the 30 percent fee Apple charges on in-app purchases.

In the ongoing legal battle between Apple and Epic, Epic was able to open the store thanks to the European Digital Markets Act, which requires Apple to allow third-party app stores on mobile devices. The Epic Games Store is also available on Android devices.

In addition to Fortnite, the store also offers Fall Guys And Rocket League dig. The process for downloading the store is a bit confusing, but Epic has released a step-by-step video to explain the “somewhat lengthy” process of downloading the store.

The company attributed the long download process to “Apple and Google intentionally introducing inferior installation experiences laden with multiple steps, confusing device settings, and scare screens.” Epic says it continues to fight in court to “eliminate the anti-competitive conditions Apple and Google impose on developers and consumers.”

While Fortnite is still banned in the US, but Epic uses its own payment processor for its App Store, making the launch a long-awaited success for the company. It was also noted that the store works like any other app and updates automatically.
