The different PC game stores that we can use at the moment do not stop improving both functionally and in terms of content. This is something that we clearly see in the corresponding platform clients such as Epic Games or Steam.
These stores that we refer to offer us a huge number of titles that we can quickly buy, download, install and run in a matter of minutes. At the same time, the clients of these platforms offer us some interesting functions to improve the experience when playing on our computers. In these lines we want to focus on the aforementioned proposal, Epic Games, which works to reach and stand up to the undisputed leader in the sector, Steam.
For this, its developers do not stop updating and improving the platform client and thus offer its users everything they need. In fact, in these same lines we are going to talk about some interesting news that will arrive soon. In this way, what is intended is to increase the portfolio of regular customers of the game store, while competing head to head with Valve’s Steam.
Let’s see what are those functions that are about to reach the Epic Games client and that are currently in the testing phase.
Features Coming to the Epic Games Client
Let’s not forget that these features that we are going to talk about next have not yet been implemented in the final version of the client. But Epic Games is expected to gradually integrate them for the enjoyment of all its users.
-
Ratings: This feature allows users to leave a star rating after their Epic Games play session. All this will be done randomly.
-
Surveys: Work is also being done on a user labeling system fed by a series of surveys. The regulars of the platform will have to respond after the game sessions and qualify them through this question path.
-
Hidden files: A function is also prepared with which we can hide certain statistics related to our games here.
-
Notification Center: We will see a new centralized location for all notifications and requests from Epic Games. All in order to offer users better message management.
- Favorites and Collections – This feature allows users to organize their games and apps into customizable collections. This makes it easier to access those contents and improves your search. We can make use of custom names and a Favorites folder to prioritize certain titles in the client.
-
Profiles: The My Achievements section will be expanded to be more useful in managing the profile as a whole. In addition, custom avatars can be used for that own profile. With all this, what is intended is that Epic Games regulars can manage everything related to their account from a single location.
-
Better control of game updates: It is intended to make it easier to acquire updates to titles in the library and to apply existing offers.
