Epic Games Store has introduced a new capability that allows users to share games with loved ones. This update comes as a significant enhancement for a service that has evolved dramatically since its introduction nearly seven years ago.
In its early days, the platform offered only the essentials, lacking many features now commonly found. Over the years, it has evolved into an impressively resilient… alternative to Steam and is known for providing more favorable terms to game developers and publishers compared to its counterpart.
The latest development lets users purchase digital games and send them directly to friends within their network on the platform. This means celebrating special milestones, sharing favorite titles, or simply surprising someone becomes much easier.
- Users are now empowered to utilize this new functionality by buying a game and gifting it through the Epic's payment system.
- Purchasing a game as a gift rewards the sender with points that can be used in future transactions.
- Recipients may also apply their rewards balance when redeeming gifts, offering greater flexibility in using their accumulated points.
With upcoming shopping events such as Black Friday and the holiday season, this enhancement is perfectly timed. It’s a great way to spread joy and celebrate special moments by sharing the world of gaming with friends.
