Epic Games is launching a new incentive program where players earn 20 percent back in Epic Rewards for using its payment system for in-app purchases across Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys. This initiative applies to purchases made on PC, Android, and the web, as it follows a favorable court ruling against Apple regarding its commission fees. The ruling determined that Apple had violated a prior injunction by continuing to enforce high fees on alternative payment systems. Following this decision, Epic announced an eager return of Fortnite to the App Store.
Starting today, players will receive 20 percent back in Epic Rewards when making in-app purchases using Epic's payment system for selected games, including Fortnite.
The recent federal ruling found Apple violated a previous injunction by charging external payments, thus incentivizing Epic to launch a 20% rewards program.
Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers criticized Apple for its practices, stating the company knowingly opted for anticompetitive methods, which directly influenced Epic's new incentives.
Epic's new offer on rewards applies across platformsâPC, Android, and webâmaking it more appealing for users to opt for its payment system.
