The Epic Games Store Is Alive and Kickin’
Biggest Surprises From The Game Awards 2018
Just a few days ago, Epic announced that they would be launching their own service, similar to Steam, that allows developers to put their games up for sale, giving them 88% of revenue compared to Steam’s 70%. The games’ industry is surely delighted about this new store as indie developers will be making more profit on their titles.
In the initial announcement, Epic mentioned that the store would be launching “soon,” but we didn’t know how fast it would be. During The Game Awards, not only did the Epic Games Store launch, but it has launched with some pretty high-quality stuff.
Right now on the store, you can grab Supergiant Games’ new title, Hades, as well as Ashen and Hello Neighbor: Hide & Seek. Epic also announced that users will be getting a free game every two weeks in 2019 – a title most likely being chosen by Epic themselves.
Coming out of the gates like a bat out of hell, the Epic Games Store is here to stay and with all of that money that the company has made from a small indie game called Fortnite (don’t know if you’ve heard of it), Epic has a lot of money to share with developers and they are doing just that and it’s wonderful to see.
