Tim Sweeney, founder and CEO of Epic Games, had stated his opinion that the revenue cut of Steam, the dominant game storefront run by Valve, was too high at 30%, and suggested that they could run a store with as little as an 8% cut while remaining profitable.

Epic Games has further plans to expand the feature set of the storefront but it does not plan to add as many features as other digital distribution platforms, such as discussion boards or user reviews, instead using existing social media platforms to support these.Įpic entered the distribution market after the success of Fortnite, which Epic distributed by their own channels to users on Windows and macOS systems rather than other storefronts. The storefront provides a basic catalog, friends list management, matchmaking, and other features. It launched in December 2018 as both a website and a standalone launcher, of which the latter is required to download and play games. The Epic Games Store is a digital video game storefront for Microsoft Windows and macOS, operated by Epic Games.
