It doesn’t seem like the timed exclusivity deals always allow studios to discuss the details. It’s worth bearing in mind that games won’t always instantly release once that exclusivity is up, as sometimes developers and publishers like to continue development before releasing it on Steam and also want to market the game properly before it makes the jump. The typical period of timed exclusivity on Epic Games Store is one year.

We will update this when more exclusives get announced or their exclusivity lapses. The same goes for all of the Ubisoft “exclusives” that EGS signed up, as they are still available on Ubisoft’s own storefront.īelow are the game we believe may remain permanently on the Epic Games Store, either because the typical period of exclusivity has already long since lapsed, development on the game has ceased, or the game is either funded, developed, or published by Epic themselves. NOTE: while neither LoL or Genshin are available on Steam, we’re not including them here as they aren’t totally exclusive to EGS and can be downloaded from elsewhere on PC.

However, it’s also been a controversial one that may have turned as many players away as it’s enticed, due to the fact that established franchises will temporarily move homes and complicate things, as well as timed exclusivity previously being a pretty much unheard of thing in PC gaming. This tactic has been effective, with plenty of new players making their way over to EGS to play timed exclusive games. One of the ways they’ve done this is by signing up timed Epic Games Store exclusives that can’t release elsewhere on PC for a period of time. Since sprouting off the back of Fortnite‘s almost unbelievable success, the Epic Games Store (EGS) has been a major focus for Epic, with them determined to go head to head with Steam to become the premier PC storefront.
