Epic Games today published its Epic Games Store 2023 Year in Review blog post, sharing insights into financial results of Epic Games Store. According to release in 2023, consumer spending on the Epic Games Store saw a notable increase of 16% to reach $950m. However, it's noteworthy that Epic-produced games still constituted the majority of this total, with spending on third-party PC games experiencing a decline of 13% year-over-year to $310 million. The top titles were Epic's Fortnite and Rocket League, along with Genshin Impact, Dead Island 2, and Grand Theft Auto 5. The Epic Games Store's userbase continued to grow, rising by 17% year-over-year to reach 270 million users.

The company also stated the following improvements for the 2024,

A wholly new Download Manager is coming in early 2024. As expected, you will be able to control timing with updates, schedule downloads, reorder your queue, and more.

We are making significant improvements to Offline Mode, including the ability to deliberately switch to an offline state, a smoother launcher experience with clear error information, and improved authentication flows for users with limited connectivity.

Social Improvements: Let’s make your friends list more meaningful, and give you more options for communicating with your friends.

Pre-loading for pre-purchases.

Subscription Support: This will let developers and publishers with their own subscription service bring them to the Epic Games Store. Crucially, you will also be able to earn Rewards with subscriptions purchased on the Epic Games Store.

Dynamic Bundles: Want to take advantage of a great bundle of content, but already own some of the items?
