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 over the years. Fortnite and Unreal Tournament, although the latter isn’t in active development anymore, spearhead the list which soon started to extend 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, Alan Wake 2, Binary Smoke, and more see their PC versions still sticking to just Epic’s storefront. Here’s the full list of Epic Games Store exclusive games.

3 out of 10
Release Date: August 6, 2020
3 out of 10 is an episodic adventure game framed as a sitcom focusing on video game developer Shovelworks Studio. As it has never earned a score higher than 3/10, hence the title, the studio aims to put an end to the unfortunate spree with Surfing with Sharks, “an endless runner with an end”. Narrative-driven minigames push forward the story that parodies what being a video game developer is like and, better yet, all of Season 1’s episodes will be free.
A Knight’s Quest
Release Date: October 10, 2019
A Knight’s Quest follows Rusty, “a kind-hearted, but clumsy adventurer” who, by accident, brings about events that would lead to his world’s destruction. Using just his sword and shield, he sets off on an adventure that will see him growing stronger, unlocking Spirit Powers through which he ends up controlling not just fire and ice but also time. Inspired by Zelda, you’ll have to defeat all manner of monsters and bosses, but also platform your way through levels and solve challenging puzzles.

Castle Storm 2
Release Date: September 18, 2020
Castle Storm 2 takes the original’s, erm, storming of castles and expands it with a series of new features. While tearing down opposing fortifications with ballistae and steady streams of troops very much remains the focus, there’s now a new turn-based metagame to also look forward to. Not only that, but Castle Storm 2 will also feature six story campaigns, alongside PvP and co-op multiplayer modes.

Dangerous Driving is headed to the Epic Games Store on April 9.
Diabotical

Diabotical aims to make arena shooters easy to get into, will feature multiple weapons, and allow players to customize their Eggbot with items like stickers.
Fortnite
Release Date: July 21, 2017
By now, Epic’s battle royale title needs no presentation. Initially launched with only its Save The World mode, which saw players building bases and protecting them against waves of zombies, Fortnite’s popularity skyrocketed once its Battle Royale component launched.

ReadySet Heroes also looks towards couch co-op titles for inspiration, focusing on fast-paced action and easy-to-pick-up gameplay.
Rocket League
Release Date: September 23, 2020 (EGS)
Rocket League is a rather unique title that aims to explore what would happen if one would play soccer but with cars instead of boring people.
