Aptoide’s iOS game store launches on Thursday


You’ll initially need an invitation code to access it though.

Aptoide, the popular Google Play alternative for Android devices, is launching a third-party iOS app store in the European Union — the first focused entirely on gaming since the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) rules came into effect. Aptoide says it has a waiting list of 20,000 signups and plans to issue between 500 to 1,000 codes per day, with the limited launch enabling the platform to monitor feedback from early adopters. The company is taking a new approach to offsetting Apple’s 50 euro cents Core Technology Fee(CTF) for every annual installation of the store.
