Late last week, Epic Games launched a new rewards program that encourages users to use the company’s own payment system instead of the one offered through Apple’s App Store or otherwise.
The new Epic Rewards program permanently gives users 20 percent back on purchases in Fortnite, Rocket League, and Fall Guys when they use Epic’s own payment system. The company is also raising Epic Rewards from 5 percent to 20 percent on all other Epic Games Store purchases using the Epic payment system until August 31st.
The offer is valid on all platforms where Epic has a presence, including iOS, Android, PC, and the web. Note that when buying games on the Epic Games Store, you aren’t buying the game itself but rather a license to access and play the game. This is true of other digital gaming platforms as well, including market leader Steam.
The initiative comes in the wake of a legal ruling in the US, which prohibits Apple from preventing apps from linking to external payment solutions. A similar regulatory framework—the Digital Markets Act—was previously introduced in the EU in 2024, requiring large tech companies like Apple to allow alternative app stores and payment systems.
