One of the biggest complaints fans have had about the Epic Games Store over the past few years is that it does not offer as many features compared to other digital markets. Although Epic has been slow over time to add major updates to the platform, it looks like 2021 could finally be the year in which some long-awaited additions to the store are finally added.
A recent blog post on Epic’s website outlined some plans for the Epic Games Store over the coming year. Epic said one of its biggest goals for EGS this year is to make it a more popular platform for developers to publish their games. “We want a smooth, seamless experience for developers who want to bring their titles to the Epic Games Store,” the blog post explained. As a whole, customers will then be able to buy even more games rather than buying a game elsewhere.
It’s 2021 and it means:
✔️ More games
✔️ More options
✔️ More fun

While this was an important feature that Epic focused on, the company also said it wanted to improve the customer’s experience so much. As such, there are expected to be further improvements to Performance and Wish List features. In addition, Epic also wants to improve the social experience on EGS as a whole and also wants to make some adjustments to player profiles.
Most importantly, though, Epic also sneakily teased that one of the most requested features for the Epic Games Store would be coming soon as well. Although not mentioned directly, Epic ended his post with an emoji from the shopping cart followed by a question mark. This suggests that a shopping cart feature will eventually go to the Epic Games Store in the future. At this point, games can not be added to a larger cart on the platform, but must be purchased one by one. Many EGS users have been asking for some time to fix this, and it seems like the requests will eventually be answered.
At this time, Epic has not yet given a specific timeline as to when these features can be formally added to the market. We’ll be sure to keep our eyes peeled for more information, and we’ll keep you posted here on ComicBook.com.
