Am I missing something? How do you get this on your iOS device?

Not an Apple user but I think you can only add to your collection for now as Apple has only been forced to allow alternate app stores in the EU so far.
It's coming, just don't know when. Epic is still fighting for it in all the other regions.
They won the case in Australia recently, don't know how long it will be before Apple complies.

Thanks, had this on my play store wishlist for a while now and never saw a discount.

Epic has an app? I tried searching play store but only childrens reading apps came up

you have to install it directly, it's a separate app store

Geolocked?
Did you use a VPN?
Not geolocked for Android.

Excellent game but man it is difficult - only ever finished on the lowest difficulty

This game is way too intense for a phone—if you really want to get into it, you'd need a proper setup. I completed it on Steam with an Xbox controller. It's hardcore for sure: you can play it casually, but you won't feel the real hardcore fun. From someone with 500+ hours in it.

Fun to play on my RP5 but prefer the PC with Xbox controller

I play it on both PS5 and android. Hate the mobile controls.

I might be dumb, but is there no "Library" on the Android app? I could see some of my previous free titles if I scrolled down, but that's it.

I have the same issue.

Unfortunately no there is no library feature available for the EPIC mobile app. Who knows when or even if EPIC will add that feature

Got it.

How do you install this, you need to install the epic App Store which can only be installed on devices from the European Union!!

I never faced that issue. I have the android Epic Games Store on multiple devices. They just installed like any normal sideload.

This is the pop up:
“Cannot Install App
You're not eligible to install apps from
"store.epicgames.com."
Learn More
OK
“
Ah. Sorry that you've hit this snag… Is side-loading active and available on your device?

Hey guys I'm new to this Epic android thing. I have an Epic account on PC so how do I sign up

Thanks so I need install Epic games store android app then install freebies from there login with existing account?

You got it, mate

FYI there’s a known major outage for Epic Games Store, so no need to stress if you can’t claim for the time being

Can I play this on my PC after claiming it on my phone somehow?

I am playing it on my z flip 7 , I got the google play version via play pass before, and after epic version override the play version.
the vines in game wont grow when I touch them , stuck in 1st stage.Is it some kind of privacy prevention thing ?

This was my first time playing Dead Cells from this deal. You get the vine growth power once you beat a mini-boss (I think they call these Elites, it's just a stronger version of the the regular mobs).
Are you sure you have this power?
