Epic's plans for their big store revamp over the next year sound like they'll at long last meet the bare minimum
Rock Paper Shotgun • • technology
Key Points:
- The Epic Games Store, despite being around for eight years, lacks many basic features, but a roadmap reveals significant improvements planned within the next 12 months.
- Upcoming features include patch notes, pre-registration for free-to-play games, a private beta for the new launcher, improved navigation, and a feature called "Fortnite Chunked Installation."
- The revamped storefront will offer personalized home pages and more detailed game pages tailored to users' interests and gameplay progress.
- Future updates will introduce user-written reviews, discovery enhancements, and updated user profiles showcasing game ownership, recent activity, and achievements.
- While these changes address longstanding criticisms, many of the planned features are standard for digital storefronts and not particularly innovative.
