In recent months, there’s been a lot of debate and concern about the future of the Xbox brand, with Microsoft seemingly tip-toeing away from exclusives and the traditional console business. In a recent “business update,” Xbox boss Phil Spencer and other execs sought to calm fears, saying major exclusives like Starfield are staying put (for now) and Microsoft is working on powerful new hardware, but fans have been skeptical in the face of “flatlining” demand for Xbox consoles. Well, Spencer sat down for an interview with Polygon at GDC, and it seems he has a new pitch – in Spencer’s […]
The Epic Games Store officially turned 5 years old in December, and while some of the fiery debate surrounding the storefront has died down, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a success yet.

On the positive side, Epic Games Store users rose to 270 million in 2023, up 40 million from 2022, monthly active users topped 75 million in December, and […]
Fortnite is coming back to iOS this year, at least in Europe, Epic Games announced today.

Epic was […]

Following the groundbreaking victory obtained in the Epic v. Google trial, founder and CEO Tim Sweeney was interviewed by The Verge on various topics, including the Epic Games Store. One of the main goals of the lawsuit against Google (and Apple) is being able to establish the Epic Games Store on Android and iOS. When asked whether it would be just a game store or a more generic app store, Sweeney was clear: The Epic Games Store isn’t a games store, right? It’s the store operated by Epic Games. So we have a lot of non-games there already. We have […]
