Epic Games has unveiled Now on Epic, which will allow companies that bring their existing titles to the Epic Game Store to earn 100% of their revenue during the first six months.
The program is eligible for products launched on third-party PC or subscription services before October 31, 2023.
After six months, Epic Games will take its standard 12% cut of earnings.
Developers can enroll in the program until December 31, 2024. All eligible products must be launched on the Epic Games Store by June 30, 2025.
Among the requirements for Now on Epic, the company said, "If you have three or more products on a third-party store or third-party subscription service, you must bring at least three of them to Epic Games Store. If you have less than three, you must bring all of those products to Epic Games Store."
Titles that have been released as Early Access are also eligible for Now on Epic.
The news comes nearly two months after Epic Games announced its opt-in First Run Program, which also allows creators to make 100% of their revenue during the first six months of release.
It allows for games released on mobile or consoles to be sold through other third-party stores, provided they use the Epic Games Store's keyless distribution system.

The Epic Games Store is bleeding money, but it's also still bleeding free games, and a couple of good ones are on the line right now. This week you can pick up The Evil Within, the hit survival horror game headed up by original Resident Evil director Shinji Mikami, and next week it'll be the sequel, The Evil Within 2. This is the first time that either of The Evil Within games have gone free on Epic, so you'll probably want to grab them while you can.

After saying 'We've been spending way more money than we earn', Epic turns on the money hose to lure game devs into releasing their golden oldies on the Epic Games Store
Epic has announced a foolproof plan to tempt devs and publishers to put their back catalogues onto the Epic Games Store: throw money at them. Announced yesterday, the Now On Epic program will offer game makers (and licence holders) 100% of the revenue generated by older games they put on Epic for the first six months of their time on the store, as opposed to the 88%/12% split that selling games via Epic usually entails.
