At this moment there's a little group of amusements accessible, including Hades, another title from Supergiant Games that is in "early access" for $19.99, and Epic's very own Fortnite and Unreal Tournament, the two of which are free.

Specifically, the store will offer a free amusement at regular intervals, beginning with Subnautica from December 14-17 and Super Meat Boy from December 28 until January 10.
What is most intriguing about the store is the income part, which is only 12 percent. That has set off a change at Valve, the firm behind Steam, as we announced recently:
While Valve will keep on taking an App Store-like 30 percent from offers of amusement producers with under 10 million in income, that figure drops to 25 percent until the point when they hit 50 million income, from which point the cut drops to 20 percent.

It bodes well that the organization is intending to gain by the amazing accomplishment of Fortnite — which was evaluated to gross as much as $2 million every day in the late spring — by building a goal for gamers. Without a doubt, a major piece of information originated from its choice to sidestep the Google Play Store and offer its Android application specifically from its site — that is a move that is assessed to cost Google around $50 million in lost profit in 2018.
"As a designer ourselves, we have constantly needed a stage with extraordinary financial matters that interfaces us specifically with our players," Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney told TechCrunch in a messaged explanation sent not long ago. "Because of the achievement of Fortnite, we currently have this and are prepared to impart it to different engineers."
The Epic Games Store is a piece of a more extensive vision that provoked a scope of speculators to siphon $1.25 billion into the organization in October. That round has interest from any semblance of KKR, Kleiner Perkins and Lightspeed Venture Partners and it is said to esteem the Epic Games business — which additionally incorporates Unreal Engine for diversion advancement — at more than $15 billion.
Epic is the main gaming firm to follow Valve this year. Strife presented an amusement store in August — only months sooner, Valve seemed to follow Discord with the rollout of its own gamer talk framework.
