Epic Games Overhauls Store to Challenge Apple
Tap title to read story
Epic Games is revolutionizing its store to rival Apple's in-app purchases. Starting June, developers will keep 100% of their revenue up to $1 million per app annually, then a standard 88/12 split. A new "webshop" feature allows developers to bypass Apple and Google's fees by offering out-of-app purchases. Players using these webshops will earn 5% back in Epic Rewards. This comes after a court ruling against Apple, and Fortnite's return to the US iOS App Store is also planned for next week.
