Epic is continuing its free games gamble with its mobile store, alongside a promise to have up to 50 apps available this "holiday season"

Epic Games plans to launch its mobile storefront with a free games program by Q4, aiming to attract players while supporting developers through third-party apps.

Steve Allison, Epic Games Store GM, stated at Unreal Fest that the free games initiative will help scale the mobile store quickly, with plans to include 10 to 50 third-party apps.

Despite previous bumps, Epic expects that the mobile storefront's free games program will replicate its successful PC model, though the payment solution may cause delays.

CEO Tim Sweeney acknowledged that while the free game strategy had mixed returns, it has generally been successful, intensifying the anticipation for the mobile version's performance.
