Epic Games has reported a substantial improvement in user retention following Apple's recent update to its installation process in iOS 18.6. The new workflow, which complies with the EU's Digital Markets Act, has led to a 60% reduction in user drop-offs when attempting to install Epic's game store. Previously, 65% of users abandoned the installation due to lengthy warnings about potential risks. The updated process now features a single warning screen, which informs users about possible limitations while installing from alternative sources. Despite this positive change, Epic Games remains critical of Apple's broader policies, including fees and restrictions that complicate app distribution. The company also highlights similar issues with Google’s installation process for third-party app stores.
