Telefónica Android Devices to Ship with Preinstalled Epic Games
Epic Games and Telefónica have forged a significant partnership, resulting in the pre-installation of the Epic Games Store (EGS) on Android devices sold by Telefónica. This means users of brands like O2 (UK), Movistar, and Vivo will find the EGS readily available.
This seemingly small detail represents a substantial strategic move by Epic. Telefónica's global reach, encompassing numerous countries and brands, positions the EGS as a default app store alongside Google Play on many Android phones. This could be a game-changer for Epic, especially considering their considerable efforts to differentiate themselves from competitors.
The key advantage for Epic is increased user convenience. Many casual users remain unaware of, or unconcerned with, alternative app stores. By securing this deal, Epic gains immediate prominence as a default option in key markets including Spain, the UK, Germany, and Latin America.
This collaboration marks only the beginning of a long-term partnership. The two companies previously collaborated on a Fortnite experience featuring the O2 Arena in 2021. For Epic, currently navigating legal battles with Apple and Google, this represents a significant advancement, potentially yielding substantial future benefits for both Epic and its users.
