As part of the new “Launch Everywhere with Epic” program, Epic Games is reducing the royalty rate for games built with Unreal Engine and listed simultaneously on the Epic Games Store and other platforms.
Epic is offering better terms for developers who build games with Unreal Engine and list them on the Epic Games Store. As part of the new “Launch Everywhere with Epic” program, Epic is reducing the royalty rate for games built with Unreal Engine from 5 percent to 3.5 percent — however, those games will have to be available on the Epic Games Store on launch day. The program kicks in on January 1st, 2025 for eligible games published on the Epic Games Store beginning that year.
So, if a developer has a big multiplatform hit that’s made with Unreal Engine, they could pocket a lot of additional money by not having to pay as much in Unreal Engine royalties. If a developer offers an Unreal Engine game on a PC or Android store but doesn’t list it on that platform’s Epic Games Store, the royalty rate will go back up to 5 percent.
