Epic Games Store definitely offers some competition against Valve’s Steam marketplace. Gamers receive free video games each month and there’s a number of exclusives that have been added to the marketplace giving the storefront quite a few views since it was available for the public. However, with that said, there are still plenty of features that Steam has made users a bit more hesitant about purchasing games on the Epic Games Store marketplace.
In a roadmap put out by Epic Games Store, there are a number of features coming this year which may answer to some of those concerns gamers may have had with the marketplace. For starters, we know that the game will soon receive user reviews, achievements and cloud saves. However, if you would like a more detailed breakdown of what’s to come for the marketplace then take a look down below.
