Epic Games Store Poses a Serious Threat to Steam With Its Upcoming Suite of Changes

Over the past few years, Epic Games has been trying to enter the PC gaming space with its Epic Games Store. Currently, most gamers use the Epic Games Store to obtain free games, but when it comes to purchasing video games, almost everyone prefers the more reliable option: Steam. Valve has created probably the best storefront on PC, but Epic Games still hopes to dethrone it one day.

To make that happen, Epic Games recognizes that it needs to introduce some new features to its store. The Epic Games Store’s general manager recently shared some interesting information about all the changes that are coming to the Epic Games Store very soon. These are some major changes, and might even convince many gamers to pick Epic Games Store over Steam.

He claimed that “even after years of building the store on PC, we know there’s still a ton of work to be done to deliver a world-class experience,” but that will change soon as Epic Games Store is getting some “long overdue” features such as “game-independent voice chat, text chat, and parties, along with robust game invites for third-party games.” It seems like Epic Games Store is finally receiving the major overhaul it needed.

Will Epic Games acknowledge the existing problems in the Epic Games Store?

The new features are great, but one of the main reasons the Epic Games Store isn’t too popular is performance issues. For example, browsing a large list of games is a lot slower than on Steam, and many players have reported that the Epic Games Store often gets stuck.

Allison assured fans that Epic Games is also putting “focus on ongoing launcher improvements that will make the store feel great to use.” If Epic Games actually manages to give fans all the promised changes, the Epic Games Store could be the primary storefront for many gamers all over the world.
