Epic Games Store: free games help sales, the app arrives on Android and iOS

Over the last few months, there have been many games made available to users completely free of charge on the Epic Games Store and according to the words of Tim Sweeney, company boss, all this has contributed to the growth of the market.

According to Sweeney, in fact, it is thanks to gifts such as Civilization VI, for example, that sales of strategic stocks are growing. Thanks to promotions of this type, players have the opportunity to try for free products that otherwise they would never have bought and in many cases they end up becoming passionate about a new game genre. To this interesting aspect is also added the increase in sales of the same product on other stores, in fact it has happened more than once that the titles donated on the Epic Games Store have undergone an increase in sales on Steam and other digital distribution platforms.

However, it seems that conquering the PC world is not the only goal of Epic Games, since the creators of Unreal Engine 5 have just announced that they want to publish their store also on mobile devices. According to Sweeney, the arrival of the app on Android seems to be much closer but an iOS version is in any case part of Epic's plans. Who knows if in the future we will also be given titles for smartphones and tablets every week.

We remind you that you only have a few hours to redeem Borderlands The Handsome Collection for free on the Epic Store and that Ark Survival Evolved could arrive as new tomorrow free title of the week.
