Hello Epic Games Developer Support Team,

I am an independent PC game developer based in the Russian Federation. I plan to publish and sell my own computer games through the Epic Games Store.

I am planning to register as an Individual Entrepreneur (IP) in Russia and apply the Professional Income Tax (NPD) regime.

Before registering with the Epic Games Store, I would like to clarify whether Epic Games currently supports developer registration and revenue payments for Russian Individual Entrepreneurs.

My intended banking details are:

Bank: Raiffeisenbank AO
Country: Russian Federation
SWIFT/BIC: RZBMRUMM
Account holder: Russian Individual Entrepreneur (IP)
Tax regime: Professional Income Tax (NPD)

My bank has confirmed that it accepts incoming international transfers, including SWIFT payments, and has informed me that it can receive payments from international game publishers and their payment intermediaries, subject to applicable compliance requirements.

Could you please clarify the following questions?

  1. Can a Russian Individual Entrepreneur (IP) register as a developer and publish games on the Epic Games Store?

  2. Does Epic Games currently accept Individual Entrepreneurs registered in the Russian Federation?

  3. Can Epic Games send developer revenue payments directly to a business bank account held with Raiffeisenbank in Russia?

  4. Are SWIFT transfers to Raiffeisenbank currently supported? Are there any restrictions related to the bank or the Russian Federation?

  5. In which currencies can developer payments be made to a Russian Individual Entrepreneur (USD, EUR or other currencies)?

  6. Which legal entity or payment provider processes developer payouts to Russian developers? Are payments made through Workday, Hyperwallet or another payment intermediary?

  7. Does Epic Games accept Russian Individual Entrepreneurs applying the Professional Income Tax (NPD) regime?

  8. What documents are required to verify a Russian Individual Entrepreneur, including business registration documents, tax information and banking details?

  9. Are there any additional tax forms, compliance checks or payment restrictions applicable to Russian Individual Entrepreneurs?

  10. Can the developer agreement and payment documentation be issued directly in the name of a Russian Individual Entrepreneur?

  11. Are there any restrictions on the withdrawal of revenue earned from selling games if the developer is registered as an Individual Entrepreneur in Russia?

If direct payments to Raiffeisenbank are currently unavailable, please let me know whether Epic Games offers any officially supported alternative payment methods for Russian Individual Entrepreneurs.

I would appreciate written confirmation of the current eligibility requirements and available payout methods before proceeding with business registration and paying the publishing fee.

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards,

Independent Game Developer
