Epic Games Inc. is launching a new mobile storefront Friday after four years of legal wrangling with Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google over their app-store practices.
Chief Executive Officer Tim Sweeney expects Epic Games’ mobile versions of the popular titles Fortnite, Rocket League and Fall Guys to draw in gamers on Android devices worldwide and iOS products in the European Union. By the end of the year, the company wants to attract 100 million new installs on mobile devices, which are responsible for half of the $188 billion games market.
