Specifically, a representative from Epic stated that the Epic Games Store has generated a total of 680 million USD, exceeding Epic’s expectations, and there have been over 300 million new account registrations across all platforms. One of the factors that helped Epic achieve these milestones is the free game giveaway campaign, offering one game each week to players. In total, Epic has given away 73 titles, equivalent to 1455 USD.
Notably, Epic announced some very exciting news that they will continue the free game giveaway campaign until the end of 2020, consistently offering one game each week just like in 2019.
In addition, the Epic Games Store will soon feature many exciting exclusive titles such as Magic: The Gathering Arena, Predator: Hunting Grounds, and Auto Chess. Epic only takes 12% of the game’s revenue, leaving 88% for the developers. Therefore, theoretically, this platform will be more appealing to game studios than Steam and other platforms due to its traditional 70/30 revenue split.
