Greetings, tech enthusiasts! Get ready for an exciting transformation in gaming with the unveiling of the Skich Store.
Skich, likened to Tinder but for mobile games, has just announced the launch of a brand new marketplace, ready to shake things up in the competitive realm of alternative app stores.
Set to debut soon for iOS users in the European Union, the Skich Store aims to contend with established names like Aptoide and Epic Games.
With the Game Developers Conference just around the corner, the company is eager to start adding titles by the end of March.
This move follows the Digital Markets Act (DMA), a regulation designed to foster fairness and competition among tech giants, including the likes of Apple.
The Skich Store promises an engaging interface similar to the Skich app, featuring social and discovery tools that let users swipe through game options just like they would in a dating app!
Moreover, users can craft unique game playlists and check out an Activity section to see what their friends are up to in the gaming world.
With a modest 15% commission on purchases compared to Apple’s hefty 30%, Skich presents a potentially appealing alternative for developers.
While the numbers may be in its favor, Skich must still build a substantial player base to rival the app-dense environment of the App Store.
Currently, the web platform attracts about 100,000 visitors each month, and the company plans to replace the existing Skich app soon.
Additionally, an Android version is expected to roll out in May, expanding its reach even further.
