Love them or absolutely and fundamentally despise them, Epic Games certainly know how to throw money at things and make headlines. After sponsoring the PC Gaming Show, itself presented by PC Gamer, the Epic Games Store also had a broad range of new PC exclusives to reveal.
From the already incredibly controversial decision to snap up a crowdfunded title previously promised for Steam to an indie featuring a very naughty goose, Epic didn’t have a shortage of new exclusives to announce with upwards of five that would be only coming to EGS for forever or the foreseeable.
We’re trying to track down the exact details of how long the exclusivity lasts for these games, but here’s the basic information for all of the new Epic Games Store exclusives for now. It’s also really murky which and which aren’t exclusives (Epic are seemingly unwilling to give straight information), so we may be adding to this soon.
