Epic Games Store hits nearly 300 million PC users in 2024


Despite overall user numbers rising year-over-year, a freefall in third-party revenue paints a less rosy image for the Epic Games Store.

Considering this is the bread and butter of online stores and largely where they make their money, the math only really works out to assuming that the increase in users primarily being for Epic’s own games. In the near future, Epic plans to improve their mobile apps, which is the result of a currently-ongoing war the publisher has been waging against Google and Apple. It’s likely that individual games on Steam or first-party stores on consoles made more in 2024 than all of Epic’s third-party revenue in totality.
