Among all the announcements, free games are still on the table, meaning there&#8217;s plenty more to come: <strong>&#8220;The free games program will continue throughout this 2023 and beyond.&#8221;<\/strong> If you thought it was going to end once the year was over, rest assured: every Thursday, you&#8217;ll still be able to get free games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, Epic has also discussed <strong>Epic Rewards<\/strong>, the program designed for players to earn benefits. The company&#8217;s idea is to continue enhancing this system, <strong>where 5% of all purchases will be added to the rewards balance<\/strong>. From there, it depends on the players how many advantages they gain, <a href=\"https:\/\/store.epicgames.com\/en-US\/features\/epic-rewards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">as explained on their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Epic Games Store - The Store Launch Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nv8lkz1a42M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To wrap up, Epic has also discussed how the store functions for developers. In this regard, they have been very critical of game studios, stating that <strong>&#8220;users don&#8217;t know where they can get the game&#8221;<\/strong> if the Epic Games logo is not simultaneously placed alongside others at the game&#8217;s launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If the store is actively created and promoted for six weeks before the launch, the forecast is to generate up to eight and a half times more than just releasing it all at once,&#8221;
