Epic Games Store hits nearly 300 million PC users in 2024

Epic Games' store has attracted 295 million users on PC and nearly 900 million cross-platform accounts, marking an increase of approximately 100 million users from the previous year, with an average of 67 million monthly active users (MAUs). However, revenue from third-party game sales on PC has declined by 18% year-over-year, dropping from 0 million to 5 million. Overall revenue has increased from 0 million to .09 billion, largely due to Epic's own titles. The top three titles on the platform are Free-to-Play games: Genshin Impact, Rocket League, and Honkai Star Rail, with Grand Theft Auto V being the first paid title on the list. Epic plans to enhance its mobile applications and add features like voice chat and out-of-game invites to the PC client. Concerns remain about the sustainability of third-party game sales as Epic's revenue increasingly relies on its own franchises.
