Epic Games Store Now Available on iPad for EU Gamers

Epic Games Store iPad Launch

The Epic Games Store has officially launched on the iPad for users in the European Union, enabling mobile gaming with popular titles like Fortnite and Fall Guys. This move is part of the recent iPadOS 18 update, which not only supports the Epic Games Store but also opens up the device to various third-party app marketplaces.

New Opportunities for EU Gamers

The latest changes come after Apple's designation of iPadOS as a “gatekeeper” service under the Digital Markets Act earlier this year. This regulation allows European users to download apps from outside traditional sources, shifting the gaming landscape.

  • Access to the Epic Games Store
  • Fortnite and Fall Guys accessible on iPad
  • New third-party marketplaces for alternative apps

Implications for iPad Users

Along with the availability of the Epic Games Store, another notable marketplace, AltStore PAL, has made its entrance, providing options like a retro Nintendo game emulator. This shift represents a crucial development in how games are delivered and played on mobile devices.
