Highlights

  • Epic Games will bring their games to mobile devices. 
  • This includes iPhones and Androids. 
  • The mobile shop initially launched with fan-favorite games, such as Fall Guys and Fortnite. 

The Mobile Epic Games Store

Epic Games announced they will finally bring their top-quality games to mobile devices. Developers describe the mobile store for iPhone and Android as “a new mobile marketplace where you can find, purchase, download and play new games and apps for your mobile device.” 

The mobile shop initially launched with fan-favorite Epic games, Fall Guys, Rocket League: Sideswipe and Fortnite. If you log into an existing account, any items purchased or unlocked on other platforms will await you in Fortnite and Fall Guys. Because Epic Games are cross-platform, you can easily switch between platforms and play with friends on different systems.

Rewards

To tempt us to try these mobile ports, Epic Games offers exclusive rewards just for playing the games. Their tactics worked on me because I have already played all three games to get those sweet, sweet exclusives. Additionally, Epic Games has also started a reward program where gamers earn five percent on game purchases to use on future purchases.

To get the exclusive in-game goodies, install the Epic Games Store, use the app to install Fortnite, Fall Guys, and Rocket League Sideswipe, and then complete the in-game quests. After completing the quests, the rewards will automatically be added to your games. 

Fortnite rewards include the Katalina Character Outfit, Tactical Kat Wrap, the Kat Claws Pickaxe, Katalina's Kit Bag Back Bling, and the Yeetus Hammer Pickaxe. Top right corner is the Holobean costume form Fall Guys. Bottom right shows the Diesto in red with gold trim.

In Fortnite, earn XP for the Tactical Kat Wrap, the Kat Claws Pickaxe, Katalina’s Kit Bag Back Bling and the Katalina Character Outfit with LEGO Minifigure alternate Style for LEGO Fortnite.

Rocket League: Sideswipe offers the Gold Trim Diesto and a new car body variant for playing the game through the mobile app. Veteran Sideswipe players who started playing before August 16, 2024, will also receive the “Long-Time Fan” title and the Loyalty Ball Avatar.

Complete five levels in Fall Guys to unlock the Holobean costume and the Yeetus Hammer Pickaxe in Fortnite. 

Don’t wait too long to check them out because this celebration offer ends November 2, 2024. If you currently don’t have mobile access or simply forget, the website mentions, “Players without access to a mobile device may be able to purchase these same cosmetics via in-game shop at a later date.”

More to Come

The Epic Games Store website states that third-party games will eventually come to the mobile Epic Games Store in the coming months. We could see some of our other favorite games on mobile, not necessarily from Epic. So, keep an eye out for more games coming soon.

Download the Epic Games Store for Android here and get the iOS version here. The installment process is pretty simple for Android users. For iOS, the user must be in the EU, the device must be running iOS 17.6 or later, and they must be using Safari. Don’t worry; Epic provides installation instructions in the provided links.
