Compared to a couple years ago, when Epic didn't have a PC game store at all, that's a huge increase. So, how's it going? Well, Epic says (opens in new tab) that it sold $265 million worth of third-party games on the Epic Store in 2020. For now, that entry plan remains in full effect, and will clearly stay that way for the foreseeable future. Along with giving away free games every week (a program that'll continue throughout 2021), exclusives have been a way for Epic to attract new customers who would otherwise stick to Steam-an entry plan, but not necessarily a forever strategy. In 2019, Epic Games Store head Steve Allison said that the company wouldn't necessarily chase exclusivity deals forever, and that it could one day stop altogether, or go to having "very, very few" exclusives per year. Chivalry 2 may be the next biggest game on the list, and like most Epic exclusives, it'll only stay exclusive for a year.
Darkest Dungeon 2 will only be there until it's out of early access. Outside of Ubisoft and Epic, the upcoming exclusive list is pretty modest. Ubisoft has been releasing most of its games on the Epic Store and the Ubisoft Store, leaving Steam out of things for now. (Remedy said that Epic is publishing its "next two unannounced videogames," so I dropped it in twice.) These games are being funded by Epic itself under the new publishing wing it announced (opens in new tab) last year, and I'm making the fairly safe assumption that games published by Epic will be Epic Store exclusives on PC. That game will likely be out in 2022.Įven further out than the next Assassin's Creed-probably, at least-are the untitled games I included from Remedy Entertainment (Alan Wake, Control), Playdead (Limbo, Inside), and genDesign (The Last Guardian). You can bet that the next Assassin's Creed will release on the Epic Store, too, although I didn't include it in this list. The company hasn't said that these games won't ever appear on Steam, but hasn't announced Steam release dates either. Right now, Ubisoft is the biggest single source of future Epic Store exclusives, though it's probably more accurate to label them "semi-exclusives." Since 2019, Ubisoft has been releasing most of its new PC games on the Epic Games Store and the Ubisoft Store (formerly known as Uplay), but not on Steam.
