The Epic Games Store's journey goes on, continuing to expand its list of exclusive games as it takes aim at Steam's dominance by giving developers 88% of the revenue from sales.
Although its initial offering wasn't truly vast, the Epic Games Store has amassed its fair share of exclusives since launch. The obvious two titles were Fortnite and Unreal Tournament, although the latter isn't in active development anymore, but the list extends far beyond them.
A hefty offering of third-party games, both big and small, are also Epic Games Store exclusives. If names like Mortal Shell, Hades, and Chivalry 2 have since made their way to Steam, games like Solar Ash, Alan Wake 2, and Ooblets see their PC versions still sticking to just Epic's storefront. Here's the full list of Epic Games Store exclusive games.
