Beyond its revenue and player metrics, Epic touted its Launch Everywhere program, which reduces royalty rates from 5 percent to 3.5 percent for games that launch on EGS alongside other storefronts.

It also saw "more developers than ever" take advantage of revenue initiatives this year. Now on Epic, which lets developers keep 100 percent of their revenue for bringing their back catalog to the EGS, has been extended to January 1, 2026 and now includes mobile games.

Epic's Year in Review also highlighted its most-played PC games throughout the year. Most of the titles shown released several years ago, and several have appeared in prior yearly breakdowns.

The Mythic (first place) tier includes Genshin Impact, Grand Theft Auto V, and Epic's own Fortnite and Rocket League. Legendary (second place) has Alan Wake II, EA Sports FC 24, and Destiny 2: The Final Shape.

Finally, Epic (third place) features Black Myth: Wukong, EA Sports FC 25, and Cyberpunk 2077.
