In 2024, the Epic Games Store's developer is planning to focus on improving the player's overall experience and bringing even more features.
The store will feature a new Download Manager offering control over update timing, scheduled downloads, and sequence adjustments. An improved Offline Mode that can be manually enabled will also be implemented, alongside enhanced communication options in the friends list and pre-loading capabilities for pre-ordered games.
Moreover, developers and publishers will benefit from support for third-party subscription services, while Dynamic Bundles will provide cost-saving opportunities for purchasing kits.
