Do I have to pay royalties if I am releasing a Free Game?

Do I have to pay 5% royalty when I release a ABSOLUTELY FREE game using Unreal Engine 4 which doesnt contain any commercial content?

You need to pay 5% of a profit made by game (this inclued DLC, unlockables, ads etc.), if you making 0 profit from game then yes you dont need to pay :slight_smile:

Thanks AGAIN!!!

I will correct a couple of errors.

If you make less than $3000 per calendar quarter, in revenue, then you don’t need to pay.

An genuine, ABSOLUTELY FREE game has $0 revenue per quarter (including DLC, unlockables, ads, and so forth, as correctly said). $0 is less than $3000 in every calendar quarter. Thus, you do not need to pay royalties to Epic Games, just any applicable subscription fees.
