Add the Epic Games Store to the list of places where you can download Spotify. The streaming giant has released the desktop version of its app to Epic’s digital marketplace, giving you another way to get the software if you don’t want to go through the company’s own website or Microsoft Store. At the moment, no special functionality can be found in this version of Spotify.

But it is a major release nonetheless. Spotify’s inclusion in the Epic Games Store suggests that Epic plans to offer more than just games through its digital storefront. It also represents a strengthening relationship between the two companies. Not only are they two of the most outspoken critics of Apple’s App Store policies, but they are also the founders of The Collation for App Fairness. That’s the group trying to pressure Apple (and Google) to cut their developer commission. Is a Fortnite crossover in their future? We can’t say for sure, but we don’t expect this to be the last time Spotify and Epic team up.
