Epic Games takes aim at Apple and Steam with zero-commission policy for developers

Epic Games announced new policies for its App Store, reducing commissions from 15% on the first $1 million in revenue per game to 0%, while Apple's 30% fee is lower than Epic's 12% after that threshold. This move aims to benefit smaller developers and offers an alternative purchasing option with Epic’s webshops, which charge a 5% bonus in Epic Rewards for purchases, as a way to bypass App Store fees. With a court ruling allowing Fortnite back on the U.S. iOS App Store next month, Epic is taking steps to reclaim its position while competing effectively against Apple and other platforms.
