We understand it’s a tricky and lengthy way to check out the list of games, especially if you compare it with Steam’s dedicated mobile app. However, this is the only workaround we’ve figured out. We strongly recommend staying away from any untrusted third party apps that claim to show Epic Games Library on Mobile. Most of them are involved in the phishing activities which means you can even potentially lose your account by giving away your login details. So be aware of such shady websites and third party apps.

Does Epic Games have a mobile app?

Epic Games does not yet have an app like Steam or Xbox Game Pass where you can directly browse your library and make purchases on mobile.

Epic Games Mobile Games List

Epic Games has made limited inroads into mobile gaming with only a few titles specifically optimized for mobile devices. Here’s a look at some of the key mobile games that Epic offers:

Fortnite

Fortnite needs no introduction, so let’s directly jump into Fortnite’s history when it comes to the Android and iOS devices:

  • August 2018: Epic Games announced the beta version of Fortnite for Android which was initially exclusive to Samsung devices following the launch of the Galaxy Note 9.
  • March 2019: Fortnite for Android expanded its availability to more devices beyond Samsung.
  • August 2020: Epic Games introduced a direct payment option in Fortnite which led to its removal from both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store due to violations of their policies regarding in-app purchases.
  • 2022: The game was made available on iOS through a workaround using Nvidia GeForce Now.
  • August 16, 2024: Fortnite finally returned globally to Android through a dedicated Epic Games Store after being unavailable for several years due to legal disputes with Apple and Google.

Apart from this, you can also play Fall Guys and Rocket League Sideswipe on mobile using the Epic Games Android and iOS marketplace.
