Launch your game on the Epic Games Store

Use the Epic Developer Portal to launch your game using the new self-service publishing tools. These tools are available to any developer or publisher with games that meet the store's specific requirements.

Notable Epic Games Store Requirements

The Store is open to all developers and publishers whose games meet the Epic Games Store requirements. These requirements are designed to provide the best player experience that doesn't lock players into a single store. Notable requirements include:

Cross-platform play on PC for multiplayer games

Multiplayer games must support cross-platform play across all PC storefronts. This ensures that players who purchase a multiplayer game from any storefront can easily communicate with other players, regardless of where the game was purchased. To achieve this, you can implement cross-platform play yourself, with a third-party SDK, or with Epic's free online services. To learn more: Enable cross-platform play on PC.

Epic Games Store Achievements

All games submitted to the Epic Games Store publishing tools after March 9, 2023, must enable Epic Games Store achievements if the game has earned achievements on other PC stores. This helps standardize the player experience regardless of where the game was purchased.
