Announced just a few days ago, the Epic Games Store—which is going straight up against Steam—has now gone live, and Epic has revealed the first list of games that are either available now or coming soon. The list is as follows:
Available Now:
- Ashen by A44 and Annapurna Interactive
- Hades by Supergiant Games
- Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek by tinyBuild
Coming Soon:
- Darksiders 3 by Gunfire Games and THQ Nordic (Available December 14th)
- Subnautica by Unknown Worlds (Available for free from December 14th-December 27th)
- Super Meat Boy by Team Meat (Available for free from December 28th-January 10th)
No release date:
- Genesis Alpha One by Radiation Blue and Team17 (Coming soon – No release date)
- Journey by thatgamecompany and Annapurna Interactive (Coming soon – No release date)
- Maneater by Tripwire Interactive (Coming soon – No release date)
- Outer Wilds by Mobius Digital and Annapurna Interactive (Coming soon – No release date)
- Pathless by Giant Squid Studios (Coming soon – No release date)
- Rebel Galaxy Outlaw by Double Damage Games (Coming soon – No release date)
- Satisfactory by Coffee Stain Studios (Coming soon – No release date)
- Super Meat Boy Forever by Team Meat (Coming soon – No release date)
- World War Z by Saber Interactive (Coming soon – No release date)
So, it’s a relatively muted debut for the Epic Games Store and, in all honestly, a pretty uninspired lineup, especially considering a lot of them have no set release date. There are a few free games on there—such as Subnautica—and an odd gem, particularly the gorgeous-looking The Pathless and the excellent Journey which will make its PC debut exclusively through Epic’s store, but both of those have no release date yet. Although the Epic Games Store has made headlines by giving 88% of all revenue to developers, I can’t help but think that Epic will have to do more to convince consumers to buy from their platform, but it’s early days yet.
