Epic announced the commission structure for the Epic Games Store, and you’re not getting cheaper apps. But you’ll get Fortnite access.
Third-party app stores are coming to the iPhone in Europe courtesy of the Digital Markets Act , which forces Apple to open iOS to competitors. But that doesn't mean apps are going to be any cheaper now that Apple is ready to allow competition to the official iOS App Store. Epic will be one of the providers of these new app marketplaces, the Epic Games Store . Epic just confirmed the commission it'll take from developers that publish apps on the EGS and use Epic's payment processor.
And, again, remember that any developer placing apps in the EGS will also pay fees to Apple once the CTF threshold is met. The same goes for Epic and its games, by the way. iPhone 15 Pro shows various apps, including the App Store. Meanwhile, Apple has new commissions in place for developers in the EU who want to get rid of the old deal. Fees range from 10% to 17% if the developers use their own payment processor, or 13% and 20% if they use Apple's.
