Fresh off its legal victory in the years-long courtroom battle with Apple, Epic Games is getting ready to relaunch “Fortnite” in the App Store with a Rewards program offer that encourages people to use its own payment option rather than the iPhone maker’s system. Gamers who make purchases in “Fortnite,” “Rocket League” or “Fall Guys” using Epic’s payment system will get 20 percent credited back as Epic Rewards. The global offer for those in-game purchases is good in perpetuity, whether made using iOS, Android, a PC or the Web, as long as Epic’s payment system is used.

“You can redeem Epic Rewards inside the company’s games or on the Epic Games Store, reports Engadget.

In addition to in-house games, the Epic Games Store “also has hundreds of third-party games, ranging from AAA games like ‘Red Dead Redemption 2’ and ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ to a huge selection of indie games,” PCMag writes.

Through August 31, all Epic Games Store purchases — including third-party games — will trigger a 20 percent reward when transacted using Epic’s payment system the game maker explains in a news post.

The 20 percent is “a big boost over the usual 5 percent offering on Epic Games Store purchases,” writes PC Gamer. “When you spend $23 on 2,800 V-Bucks, you can get $4.60 back in Epic Rewards, or you can get nothing.”

Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney touted the promotion with a post on X, calling it “a strategy for giving customers choice over how to pay for things, and passing on savings when they use our cost-effective direct payment system.” Sweeney punctuated the thought with “Competition is a wonderful thing!”

News of the Epic Rewards promotion was rolled out simultaneous with the company’s announcement that it has submitted “Fortnite” to Apple for review so it can launch on the App Store in the U.S.

PC Gamer traces the courtroom battle back to its 2020 origin, noting that “while Apple mostly came out on top in that dispute, Epic did score one big win when the courts ruled that Apple could not stop iOS app developers from directing users to their own payment processor outside of the app, rather than Apple’s.”

The outcome is potentially “very advantageous for [all] developers, because using an external payment processor for purchases would enable them to escape Apple’s stiff 30 percent fee,” PC Gamer writes, adding because of that savings “it’s not really shocking that Apple’s compliance with that ruling wasn’t exactly enthusiastic.”
