Microsoft allows Epic Games on its app store without fee

Microsoft Corp said it’s bringing Epic Games Inc’s storefront to its online app store, part of the software company’s policy to allow third parties wide availability on Microsoft’s digital sales platform.

Epic’s Fortnite and games from Amazon.com Inc will be available via search or browsing the Microsoft Store on Windows, the Redmond, Washington-based company said Tuesday in a statement. The world’s largest software provider also said it won’t take a cut of purchases made through the digital storefronts if the third party has its own payment systems.
