Epic just announced a major new business update aimed at attracting developers to the Epic Games Store.

Today, Epic dropped two big news updates: The first is that devs releasing their games on the Epic Store won't have to pay any revenue share fees on the first $1 million earned, per app, per year. After that, the previously announced 88-12 split kicks in (88% to developers, 12% to Epic).

The second update is something called Epic Webshops. Devs can use these digital browser-based shops to sell in-game items, DLC, and content at a better rate than they'd otherwise have on Android or iOS. This basically means that gamers would be able to buy microtransactions outside of the app itself--click a button that opens up a web browser, and then you'd buy the content that way instead of directly within the dedicated game app.

Webshops were only made possible by the recent Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the European Union, and the recent antitrust rulings against Apple and Google that were in favor of Epic Games.

Epic explains in the update:

We're making some exciting updates to the Epic Games Store to provide an even better deal for developers, starting in June.

0% Store Fee For First $1,000,000 in Revenue Per App Per Year

Starting in June 2025, for any Epic Games Store payments we process, developers will pay a 0% revenue share on their first $1,000,000 in revenue per app per year, and then our regular 88%/12% revenue share when they earn more than that.

Epic Games Store Webshops

In June 2025, we are releasing a new feature enabling developers to launch their own webshops hosted by the Epic Games Store. These webshops can offer players out-of-app purchases, as a more cost-effective alternative to in-app purchases, where Apple, Google, and others charge exorbitant fees. With new legal rulings in place, developers will be able to send players from games to make digital purchases from webshops on any platform that allows it, including iOS in the European Union and United States.

As an extra bonus, players spending in Epic Webshops will also accrue 5% Epic Rewards on all their purchases.
