Apple’s court loss to Epic Games is a stunning turnaround

Following a court case that has lasted more than four years, Epic Games has finally won an antitrust lawsuit against Apple that will improve competition and generate financial gains for mobile gaming companies on iOS.
U.S. District Court judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers held that Apple failed to comply with her ruling in 2021 and so it was in contempt of court for “willful violation” of her ruling.
As a result, Apple will no longer impede developers’ ability to communicate with users or impose a new commission on off-app purchases.
Epic Games has also announced an update to the Epic Games store revenue share and the launch of a new webshop feature, both starting in June 2025.
It will charge 0% fees for the first $1 million in revenue per app per year for game developers, and then an 88%/12% revenue share when they earn more than that.
In addition, Epic Games will release a new feature enabling developers to launch their own webshops hosted by the Epic Games Store.
