Using a virtual currency called V-Bucks, players can buy skins, pick axes, gliders and emotes, none of which offer a competitive advantage. For context on that 30 percent fee, Epic Games is making approximately $2 million per day as of July, according to Sensor Tower. That said, Epic Games has already made more than $1 billion on the game through in-game purchases alone. After all, Fortnite Battle Royale is still a free download across all platforms. In-game purchases are a huge source of revenue for Epic. Of course, Sweeney didn’t mention the 30 percent fee that goes to Google each time a user makes an in-app purchase, but it’s hard to imagine that’s not a factor in the decision. Competition among services gives consumers lots of great choices and enables the best to succeed based on merit. We believe gamers will benefit from competition among software sources on Android. On open platforms like PC, Mac, and Android, Epic’s goal is to bring its games directly to customers. When asked why Epic would choose to distribute the game via their own website instead the more official channel of the Google Play Store, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney told TechCrunch in an email: Users can visit and download the Fortnite Launcher, which will then allow them to load Fortnite Battle Royale onto their devices. Epic Games continues to spread the love… to consumers, at least.įollowing the launches of Fortnite Battle Royale on iOS earlier this year and Fortnite for the Nintendo Switch earlier this summer, Epic Games is now confirming that the Android version of the game will be available exclusively through the Fortnite website.
