From now on, they no longer display how many months are required for upcoming features to be added to the Epic Games Store.

We can find Epic Games Store’s roadmap on Trello, showing how Tim Sweeney plans to improve the main competitor to Steam. The updates are now split into three categories: Recently Shipped, Up Next, and Future Development. „We regularly delay feature releases due to shifting priorities and the need for further iteration. We’re always focusing on improving, and we believe the Trello can be improved as well,” Epic wrote in a blog post.

Epic Games was also out at PAX West, where they announced no less than eight indie titles that are confirmed to be Epic Games Store-exclusive (or at least a timed exclusive). The eight games are the following: Ooblets (this game was previously discussed by us), No Straight Roads, Manifold Garden, Superliminal, The Alto Collection, Airborne Kingdom, The Eternal Cylinder, and Wattam, made by Katamari Damacy’s creator, Keita Takahashi. The eight games got a short showcase trailer as well – they are not AAA titles, so it’s surprising to see Epic Games picking even them up for exclusivity deals and to make them not launch on Steam first.

The Epic Games Store launched in December, so they have a lot to do to catch up, but they are trying, and they also give out a lot of freebies (we discussed this subject yesterday – now, you can pick up a decent indie from 2016 and 2018, respectively). More and more bigwigs have issues with Steam’s business model (they only give 70% of the revenue to the devs, while Epic offers 88%), and who knows where the end of this road could be. They have been rampantly picking up exclusives left and right.
