In Unreal Fest Orlando 2025 , Epic gave us an expanded look for its roadmap for the store in 2025 and Whats Next , so Here is a summary for what is known for the Store roadmap
From Epic Games Store 2024 Year in Review
Next year we will continue to make significant investments in the Epic Games Store with the intention of improving both the player and partner experience. Some of the highlights include:
Epic Games Store Mobile App: The Epic Games Store on Android and iOS will continue to be a focal point of our development roadmap throughout the next year. Initial work on the app will include building an enhanced App Library & Discover Experience to scale against an ever-increasing catalog size, and, for our developers, AAB file type Support. This is only the start; much more is still to be announced!
Mobile Self-Publishing Tools: Our self-publishing tools for mobile games are currently available on an invite-only beta at this time, and we’re excited to open up the tools for self service publishing to all mobile developers later this year.
Non-Gaming Apps: The Epic Games Store aims to allow the publishing of all types of content a gamer might need across PC and mobile offerings. Within our Self Publishing Tools, we’ll be opening up the ability to self-publish non-gaming apps offering a wider variety of content to be listed on all Epic Games Store supported platforms.
Gifting: Sharing is caring, particularly when it comes to gaming, and so in 2025 we’ll be adding gifting to our list of purchase options!
New Download Manager (PC/MAC): Originally planned for release in Q4 2024, the wait is nearly over and our PC Launcher will have an entirely new Download Manager, now arriving in Q1 2025. The functionality will include the ability to control the timing of updates, schedule downloads, and reorder your queue; amongst other quality-of-life changes.
Pre-Loading (PC/MAC): Pre-Loading will allow players to download and install their pre-purchased content ahead of launch, ready to play from the moment a title is officially released.
Search & Browse Overhaul (PC/MAC): New features including predictive search and semantic search are in development along with several under the hood improvements. Expanded Search will move into full release with improvements.
Multi-Platform Social: We’re bringing new social features to all of our players with robust support for connecting with your friends. This comes via all new voice chat, text chat, game independent parties, invite/join/play and looking-for-group features across all Epic Games Store supported platforms.
Platform Store Switching: Users will be able to switch from their native platform store view to other supported platforms to browse and shop for apps.
Beyond these highlights, we're also dedicated to improving your experience through continuous updates to the Launcher and Store, focusing on areas like performance, stability, and ease of use.
