Epic Games Store has announced a new policy of taking a 0% revenue share from game developers for the first $1 million per year. Any revenue exceeding that amount will be subject to a 12% deduction following the original policy, starting in June 2025.
Additionally, the Epic Games Store has introduced a new feature called webshop, a web-app storefront for developers to sell their games directly to gamers. This allows gamers to purchase games or in-game items directly, with the backend being managed by the Epic Games Store system. (Gamers who make purchases through the webshop will also receive 5% Epic Rewards points). Epic states that this new feature is a result of court orders in Europe and the United States requiring Apple to allow such opportunities.
