Other games like Super Meat Boy Forever and the next episode of the now resurrected Telltale's The Walking Dead have even bailed on Steam entirely to switch platforms, with larger developers like Ubisoft already following suit just a month later.Īs for the platform itself, the Epic Games Store seems to offer a good start but is still woefully underfeautred compared to Steam. Another big surprise was that Journey, previously a Sony exclusive, would be coming to PC on the Epic store. It announced that Bastion creator Supergiant Games’ newest game Hades was launching that night exclusively on the Epic store, alongside Annapurna’s highly anticipated Ashen. That means Epic is convincing game makers to get on board with a fervor that Discord or GOG haven’t, and already has the audience waiting to browse.Įpic came out swinging at The Game Awards last year too. The promise of access to that growing player base is undoubtedly an exciting prospect for any major developer, but Epic is also offering devs a significantly larger 88% cut of the revenue than Valve currently does on Steam – a point that’s lead to rising discontent with the platform recently. But a couple years down the line they might, and if Fortnite is still as big as it is now (which seems likely) the Epic Games Launcher will undoubtedly be the first thing that audience installs on their fancy new computers. That audience is much younger, and I would bet most of them don’t even have a gaming PC yet. More than that, Epic already has massive loyalty from people playing Fortnite on mobile.
