Epic Games Store's Launch on iOS and Android: A Potential Game-Changer for Third-Party App Stores
 
• After a long legal battle and the introduction of the Digital Markets Act (DMA), Epic Games has relaunched Fortnite on iOS and introduced the Epic Games Store on both iOS and Android, as well as the AltStore PAL third-party marketplace.

• While the Epic Games Store is currently only available to EU-based iPhone owners, it offers a glimpse into the potential future of third-party app stores on iOS, which have so far failed to gain significant traction.

• The Epic Games Store's launch could ignite public interest in alternative app stores due to Epic's popular titles like Fortnite and Fall Guys.

• The installation process for the Epic Games Store on iOS and Android involves several steps, but Epic's clear instructions make it relatively straightforward.

• Epic Games is also supporting other alternative app stores like AltStore PAL by providing a "MegaGrant" and making its games available on these platforms, potentially increasing their chances of mainstream adoption.
