Epic Games is opening a beta that will allow publishers and developers to submit games directly to the Epic Game Store. This offers features similar to Steam Direct and should lead to an influx of new titles.
The only bad news is that the beta is currently by invitation only. But don’t worry – you can simply apply to Epic to consider the beta.
Why is Epic Games making this great movie? In a statement, they said they want the Epic Games store to “grow faster than ever”.
“These new tools simplify the process for developers to set up their own product pages, achievements, pricing, offers, and upload builds and updates to the Epic Games Store. If you are a developer and want to have your game on the Epic Games Store and in front of its 58 million monthly active users, submit your content for the closed beta. “
Epic Games will monitor submissions for prohibited practices such as hateful or discriminatory content, pornography, fake games and malware. This should improve the overall quality of the games available for purchase.
Do you think this beta will be successful or will it repeat some of the Steam Direct errors? Let us know in the comments below!
