Fall Guys: How to Sideload the Epic Games Store on Mobile – Android & iOS Guide

The safest way to get the Epic Games Store on mobile is to sideload the official Android APK directly from Epic, while iOS users can install the storefront only in regions where local regulations force Apple to allow alternative marketplaces. If you are trying to claim entitlements like the Fall Guys: Icons Pack on a phone, start by confirming which platform rules apply to your device.

Android: Installing the Epic Games Store

Download the Official APK

Open your mobile browser and navigate to Epic’s official Android download portal. Grab the latest Epic Games Store APK from the source. Avoid third-party mirrors; unofficial files are the fastest way to hit security prompts or corrupted installs.

Allow Browser Installs

Before the APK will run, the browser you used to download it needs permission to install unknown apps. On most Android devices, head to Settings > Apps > [Your Browser] > Install unknown apps and toggle the permission on. Menu names vary by manufacturer, but the setting is almost always tied to the specific app that downloaded the file, not a single global switch.

Install and Sign In

Launch the downloaded file, complete the installation, and open the Epic Games Store client. Sign in with your existing Epic account. If you are after the Fall Guys: Icons Pack, confirm you are logged into the same account that owns the entitlement. The store should sync your purchases and linked cosmetic packs automatically.

iOS: Region-Locked Storefront Access

Apple’s current policy blocks the Epic Games Store in most territories, so installing the storefront on iOS is only possible in the European Union and Japan. If you are outside those regions, the native install path is closed and no sideloading workaround will unlock it without violating Apple’s terms.

Trust and Launch the App

In supported regions, download the app from Epic’s distribution page. After installation, open Settings > General > VPN & Device Management (or Profiles & Device Management on older iOS versions). Find the Epic Games Inc profile and allow apps from that developer. Without this step, iOS will throw an untrusted-developer error and the launcher will refuse to open.

Account Linking and Entitlements

Once the app launches, sign in with your Epic credentials. If the Fall Guys: Icons Pack does not appear, check that your Epic account is linked to the correct platform profile and that the entitlement was granted in the same region as your store installation. A region mismatch is the most common trigger for a “not entitled” message on iOS.

Fixing Common Sideloading Errors

• Grayed-out install button on Android: Go back to your browser’s app-info screen and double-check that Install unknown apps is enabled for that specific browser. A global setting alone often is not enough.
• Launcher crashes on first boot: Restart your device after installation. The mobile client sometimes needs a reboot to finish its first-time setup cache.
• “Not entitled” for Fall Guys content: This usually means the pack is tied to a different account or was redeemed on a platform profile that is not linked. Verify cross-progression is enabled in your Epic account settings and that you are not signed into a secondary profile.
• iOS security prompt loop: If you already tapped “trust” and the app still will not open, remove the Epic Games Inc profile and re-run the trust step. A failed first launch can leave the permission in a half-accepted state.

What to Expect

Android users can sideload the Epic Games Store anywhere by installing the official APK and allowing browser installs. iOS users need to be in the EU or Japan to use Epic’s storefront at all; everywhere else, Apple’s restrictions keep the path closed. Get the app installed, sign into the right account, and verify your region to avoid entitlement issues with the Icons Pack.
