This is absolutely amazing and one of the most generous reward systems that I have seen in games yet. However, it is no coincidence that this message comes in front of the expected return of Fortnite to the US iOS App Store.
It follows a landmark decision that allows app developers to link to payments in external app stores without giving any commission to Apple. The lack of commission, which is usually 30%, means that EPIC games are able to pass on some of the savings to consumers through this program while still increasing the income it receives from each transaction.
Except Fortnite, This rate will apply to purchases in other epic game -titles such as Rocket League and Fall guys.
The company has also announced that purchases in the Epic Games store using EPIC’s payment system will receive an increased 20% epic reward (up from the usual 5%) for a limited period. This is in place until August 31 and includes games from companies that are distributed through the store.
If you’ve been waiting for the chance to add them like Alan Wake 2 For your PC game library, this limited offer period may be time to strike.
