Document reveals how much Epic paid for each free game on its store up to Sep 2019

May 03, 2021

The Epic versus Apple trial keeps on giving: this time we know how much Epic paid on a per title basis for the free games released during the first nine months of the Epic Games Store’s life. A document spotted and tweeted by GameDiscoverCo founder Simon Carless lists all the free games released on the Epic Games Store in the nine months to September 2019 – and how much Epic paid for each of them. The list tells us, for example, Epic paid $1.4m to get Subnautica as a free game. Team Meat’s wonderful Super Meat Boy, on the other hand, cost just $50,000. Elsewhere, Funcom’s Mutant Year Zero cost a cool $1m, whereas the brilliant Fez cost $75,000. It’s not just indie games. Epic paid Warner Bros. $1.5m for Batman Arkham to go free on the Epic Games Store. Ubisoft got a paltry $63,000 for For Honor, though. Overall, Epic spent nearly $12m on nabbing 38 games to release for free in the first nine months of the Epic Games Store’s life. That’s a few pennies in Fortnite money!
