Epic Games celebrates a legal victory against Apple, allowing developers to create webshops that provide players with out-of-app purchase options. This follows a ruling affirming developers can redirect customers to external platforms for digital goods. Returning Fortnite to iOS, Epic incentivizes users to buy directly from them, promising better prices. The Epic Games Store will charge only after the first $1 million earned annually, a more favorable deal than Apple’s 30% cut. These changes empower developers while challenging existing app store fees.
With new legal rulings in place, developers will be able to send players from games to make digital purchases from webshops on any platform that allows it, including iOS in the European Union and United States.
Epic takes a 12% share of a developer's earnings from the Epic Games Store, which is still a better deal than what developers get from Apple.
