Following Apple victory, Epic Games Store drops revenue share for games up to first $1m profit, adds out-of-app webshops


Epic Games has "exciting updates" for game makers, confirming the storefront will no longer take a share of revenue up …

Watch on YouTube In comparison, competitor Steam - much like other digital stores like the Nintendo eShop - takes around 30 percent, although Valve's store revised its Steam Distribution Agreement and revenue share tiers back in 2018 so developers can keep more of the profits of their most successful games, taking 30 percent on the first $10 million of revenues earned, 25 percent from $10 million onwards, and 20 percent on any revenue over $50 million. "In June 2025, we are releasing a new feature enabling developers to launch their own webshops hosted by the Epic Games Store. "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."
