Epic's App Store and The Plucky Squire's Bold Debut | GI Microcast
The latest installment of the GI Microcast is out, offering an overview of the major news from the past week.
This week, discussions focus on the Epic Games Store's debut on mobile devices. This move marks the return of Fortnite to Android and, in the EU, iOS years after Epic initiated legal action against Apple and Google. We explore the feasibility of alternative mobile stores and Epic's ambition to achieve 100,000 installations by 2025, despite the numerous steps required in each mobile ecosystem.
In our segment 'What Do The Numbers Mean?', Chris delves into the anticipated launch date of Devolver Digital's The Plucky Squire, alongside the releases of two significant and somewhat similar games. Additionally, we examine sales data that provide further insights.
Throughout the week, our team will be in Cologne for Devcom and Gamescom, offering daily podcast episodes. Look forward to a special guest interview tomorrow, and catch our live Q&A on the official Devcom Twitch stream at 4pm CEST / 5pm UK.
