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.
