Fortnite creator Epic Games has announced that the Epic Games Store is now available on iPhone devices in Japan.
The launch allows iOS users in the country to download and play titles like Fortnite and Rocket league Sideswipe directly through the mobile storefront.
It also gives users access to Epic’s expanding mobile ecosystem, which includes more than 345,000 user-created experiences built with the Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN).
The company said the rollout comes with the arrival of Fortnite Showdown, the latest battle royale season that pits Team Foundation and Team Ice King as rival factions competing for victory and seasonal rewards.
installation procedure
To install the Epic Games Store on iPhone, users must download the app directly from Epic’s website before enabling permissions for Epic Games Inc.’s apps through their device settings during installation.
Epic said the mobile storefront also supports cross-platform text chat with friends in the Epic ecosystem and includes access to two-factor authentication (2FA) tools for account security.
The company is also giving players a new Yeddi outfit when they download Fortnite on a mobile device and invite a friend to play. In addition to iPhone, the Epic Games Store is available on Android devices and PC globally.
