Epic Games Store: Leak: Plant Epic ein eigenes Abo-Modell?

The Xbox Game Pass made game subscriptions socially acceptable in the gaming sector – and since then there have been more and more competitors jumping on the bandwagon. Next, the Epic Games Store in the PC sector could apparently also prepare for this.

A new leak suggests that Epic Games could be preparing its own subscription model for the in-house Epic Games Store – one of the biggest competitors to PC top dog Steam. Such subscription models have become more and more socially acceptable in the video game sector in recent years after Microsoft celebrated great success with the Xbox Game Pass. Especially in the PC sector, there are a number of competitors to the PC Game Pass with EA Play, Ubisoft+ and more – and in the future also Epic Games?

Leaked data has now appeared online that indicates corresponding plans for the Epic Games Store. Accordingly, there should probably be subscriptions with a monthly or annual term. EA Play, publisher Electronic Arts’ own subscription, could be integrated into the Epic Games Store offering and there are likely to be additional features as part of the subscription. We’re talking about time-limited trial versions and potentially more.

Subscriptions appear to be coming soon

In the area of ​​PC game subscriptions, Ubisoft recently restructured its Ubisoft+ offering and changed the pricing model. Since then, there is no longer a comprehensive PC-only subscription that would be cheaper than the multiplatform offer. Instead, the premium offer with access to brand new games costs 17.99 dollars; Ubisoft+ Classics is now available as an entry-level option for 7.99 dollars, which provides access to numerous well-known older titles.

It remains to be seen whether Epic Games will actually introduce such a subscription in its own store and, if so, at what price. An official statement is still pending. We will keep you up to date!
