During Epic Games’ showcase at GDC today, it was announced that the gaming giant will provide developers with a unique opportunity to receive a 100% revenue share for six months if their game is exclusively listed on the Epic Games Store. This initiative, known as ‘Now On Epic’, demonstrates Epic Games’ commitment to offering maximum value to developers who choose to utilize their platform. Even after the initial six-month period, developers will still enjoy an 88-12% revenue split on the Epic Games Store.
There are specific conditions that developers must adhere to in order to take advantage of this offer. The deal applies to older titles, with games released before October 31, 2023, being eligible for the 100% revenue split. Additionally, developers must remove their game from another digital storefront in order to list it exclusively on the Epic Games Store.
Maximizing Revenue
The ‘Now On Epic’ program allows developers and publishers to maximize their earnings by receiving a 100% revenue share for six months. Epic Games aims to attract back catalog games from other digital storefronts, such as Steam, with this model. To qualify, games must have been released before October 31, 2023, and if a developer has multiple games on another platform, they must bring a corresponding number of titles to the Epic Games Store.
Participants can review the full terms and conditions of the initiative on the Epic Blog. Games featuring blockchain, NFT, or distributed ledger mechanics are excluded from this offer, and Early Access titles are included but subject to the same guidelines. Interested developers can initiate the process by contacting Epic Games and starting a private discussion about ‘Now On Epic’.
The Epic Developer Portal facilitates the process of porting games from other platforms to the Epic Games Store, making it easier for developers to take advantage of this opportunity.
While it may not be a groundbreaking deal, the prospect of a 100% revenue share for six months is unprecedented in the industry. Despite the various conditions, this initiative underscores Epic Games’ commitment to enhancing its platform and expanding its game library.
