Epic Games just sweetened the deal for developers: starting June 2025, the Epic Games Store will take 0% on the first \$1 million in annual revenue per game, then revert to its usual 12% cut on anything above that. That’s a huge shift from rivals like Apple (15%+) and even Steam’s tiered 30/25/20% model, so smaller titles can keep every penny until they hit that million-dollar mark.

On top of that, Epic’s rolling out “Webshops” hosted right in the store—letting devs send players to make purchases outside the app and dodge Apple/Google’s hefty fees. Players even earn a 5% Epic Rewards bonus on webshop buys. All this follows a landmark US ruling forcing Apple to allow alternate payment options, and it comes as the Epic Store’s user base swells (295 million PC players last year, up 25 million).
