![]() My request for clarification from Epic has not been returned, so the summary and the tweets are mostly what we have to go on for now. On Twitter, Galyonkin called daxy's summary "incorrect," but didn't contradict the post. On a Russian podcast which was summarized by ResetEra user daxy, Epic Games director of publishing strategy Sergey Galyonkin discussed future additions including customer reviews, cloud saves, achievements, and social features. Just to make the point more emphatically, here's a comparison of Steam and the Epic Store's features as of right now: When installing a game, it doesn't even tell you how much space the game requires, or how much space is available on your selected drive, and the lack of forums prompted some of those who picked up Subnautica when it was free to venture over to the Steam forums for technical support. There's also a friends list, to be fair, but that's about it.

How will future games get on the Epic Store? Should The Division 2 find success on the Epic Store, should we expect Ubisoft to make similar deals for its other games? Will 2019's Assassin's Creed release on Steam? That's a question for the first time. But with Uplay unable to gain quite the same purchase as Origin and, Ubisoft hung on until Epic offered an alternative. That's a big deal, as along with CD Projekt and 2K (for now), Ubisoft has been one of the last big-publisher Steam holdouts. The Jackbox Party Pack (will be free starting January 24)Įpic's latest deal will bring The Division 2 to the platform, and while Ubisoft's shared-world shooter will also release on Uplay, there are "no plans" to bring it to Steam.What Remains of Edith Finch (currently free).Outer Wilds (unclear if Steam and Epic Store launches will be simultaneous).The Division 2 (will also be available on Uplay, but not Steam).The Walking Dead: The Final Season (except for those who already purchased it on Steam).Here's what the Epic Store offers right now, including unreleased games: ![]()
