Skich Launches Game-Focused App Store for iOS in the EU

The new marketplace leverages EU regulations to offer mobile gamers a personalized discovery platform with lower fees for developers.

  • Skich Store is a new third-party app marketplace for iOS users in the European Union, focusing exclusively on mobile games.
  • The platform introduces a Tinder-like recommendation system with over 240 game genres, significantly more than Apple's App Store, to help users find games tailored to their preferences.
  • Developers will pay a 15% fee on purchases and in-app transactions, lower than Apple's 20% to 30% fees in the EU, making it a more affordable option.
  • The store currently has no games available but plans to add titles starting later in March, following the Game Developers Conference (GDC).
  • Skich also plans to launch an Android version in May and replace its existing app discovery platform with the new store.
