Epic Games has announced that it will be launching a new digital store, aiming to rival Valve’s Steam, GOG and Microsoft’s Windows Store. Contrary to other stores, Epic Games has decided to give developers 88% of the revenues while keeping 12% for overhead.

Epic’s CEO Tim Sweeney said:

“As a developer ourselves, we have always wanted a platform with great economics that connects us directly with our players. Thanks to the success of Fortnite, we now have this and are ready to share it with other developers.”

If developer’s games uses Unreal Engine 4, all the copies sold on the digital store will not be giving a separate percentage to Epic. This will clearly benefit developers who are using the Unreal Engine 4 to create their games. Below is an image on what Epic would be charging :

The Game Store will be launched later this month and the users will have access to the site through the Epic Games launcher and through the web. Epic has also confirmed that its own games will be exclusive to the game store on both PC and Mac and will sometimes fund developers release games that are exclusive through the store.
