  • Epic has announced its plans to bring its popular “free games” program from desktop to mobile later this year.
  • The Epic Games Store will also soon host third-party games, starting with Ark: Ultimate Mobile Edition.

Most people download new games on their Android devices through the Google Play Store, but other sources of games are becoming popular, too. Epic recently launched the Epic Games Store on Android in August this year, giving users the ultimate destination to download Fortnite on Android, alongside other games like Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe. If you are looking for even more top-tier Android games to play and enjoy without spending a dime, then Epic has great news for you.

At the Unreal Fest event in Seattle, Epic Games Store general manager Mr. Steve Allison said in a post-keynote roundtable that Epic’s “free games” program is coming to mobile in Q4 this year (h/t Mobile Gamer), likely through the Epic Games Store. It will launch alongside third-party apps in the Epic Games Store in the holiday season. Epic expects about 10-50 apps to be ready, though implementing a payment solution could push some of these further down the months.
