Epic is conveying that the 30% cut on App Store was raising the prices. But Xbox and PlayStation has the same cut, yet Epic has lower pricing on these platforms

- uncoder0 6y agoAre you sure Epic hasn't negotiated some sort of deal with Xbox and playstation to lower the cut to a more reasonable rate given their volume of transactions.
- SuperTachyon 6y agoThat I’m not sure. Do you have any sources?
- uncoder0 6y agoTo clarify, I work in the gaming industry and I've heard rumors of large publishers negotiating better terms when they get to a certain magical number of transactions/gross rev. I'm not sure I've read any reporting on it. The sources I heard this from would have been in a position to know but, I can't really point to any hard data. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it were true. I've heard it can be as low as 10-15% but again I don't have any evidence on that.
- kevingadd 6y agoI don't think it's realistic to assume that 30% of all Fortnite revenues on xbox/playstation is still going to the platform holders. Valve already offers a 20% cut to large-volume titles on Steam, so it's plausible that Epic would have a custom deal with the console vendors.
