Epic Games Store to come preinstalled on Android Telefónica devices
Epic Games and Telefónica Partner to Pre-install Epic Games Store on Android Devices
Epic Games has forged a significant partnership with telecommunications giant Telefónica, resulting in the pre-installation of the Epic Games Store (EGS) on Android devices sold through Telefónica's network. This means millions of users of brands like O2 (UK), Movistar, and Vivo will find the EGS readily available on their new phones.
Don't underestimate the impact of this move. This pre-installation agreement represents a substantial leap forward for Epic's mobile strategy. Telefónica's global reach, encompassing numerous countries, instantly broadens the EGS's potential user base.
The EGS will now compete directly with Google Play as a default app store option. This strategic positioning, coupled with Epic's considerable efforts to differentiate itself, could prove to be a game-changer in the mobile app market.
Convenience: A Key Factor
A major hurdle for alternative app stores is user convenience. Many casual users remain unaware of, or unconcerned with, options beyond the pre-installed defaults. Epic's deal with Telefónica circumvents this, making the EGS a default option for users in key markets such as the UK, Spain, Germany, and Latin America. This strategic placement provides a significant competitive advantage.
This collaboration marks only the beginning of a long-term partnership. Epic and Telefónica previously collaborated on a digital experience featuring the O2 Arena in Fortnite (2021).
For Epic, embroiled in legal battles with Apple and Google, this partnership represents a significant strategic maneuver, potentially yielding substantial future benefits for both Epic and mobile users.
