00:57today, which you'll be able to enjoy on mobile and across all other platforms.
01:02We are launching on iOS devices in the European Union thanks to the Digital Markets Act, but
01:07Apple is still blocking all other iOS users outside of Europe from accessing Fortnite
01:12and Epic Games Store for iOS.
01:14For now, the process of installing the Epic Games Store on iOS and Android is lengthy
01:19due to Apple and Google introducing intentionally poor quality install experiences laden by
01:24multiple steps, confusing device settings, and scare screens.
01:28We are continuing to fight in courts and work with regulators around the globe to eliminate
01:33the anti-competitive terms that Apple and Google impose on developers and consumers,
01:38so we can build a better store for everyone.
01:40Fortnite, Rocket League Sideswipe, and Fall Guys on third-party app stores.
01:45We are partnering with third-party mobile app stores to bring our games to any marketplace
01:49offering great terms for all developers.
01:52We are starting by launching our games on Alt Store PAL today for iOS users in the European
01:57Union.
01:58We also plan to bring our games to Aptoide's iOS store in the EU and one store on Android.
02:04We look forward to bringing our games to other stores around the world.
02:07The tide is turning and the mobile ecosystem is finally opening up to competition.
02:12We are grateful to the European Commission for making it possible to launch the Epic
02:16Games Store and offer our games to iOS users in the European Union.
02:20Now European iOS users and all Android users can access our store and games, as they've
02:26always been able to do on open platforms like PC and Mac.
02:30The fight is far from over, but this is tangible progress for developers and consumers who
02:35can begin to benefit from competition and choice, said Tim Sweeney, CEO and founder
02:40of Epic Games.
