Not true, Steam allows the indie community to apply, you don't, Epic self publishing tools only allows studios and publishers, no game developers. 🤑

Can an indie game developer publish his game to epic games store?

[qwertty]

Very unlikely... only for studios and companies, does not apply to indie developers. 👎

[leegarfield]

It's an scam, it only applies to businesses as always, while Steam works for everyone, including indie devs too.

[ferwestern]

UPS, It says "Organizations" then, no solo devs allowed? Okay I'll stay with Steam, they do care about the solo dev community. 👎

How to UPLOAD THE F GAME, they show Absolut everything but how to upload your game and test it if it's working, this is what developers need to know.

[abhimanyubundela]

Can you plz suggest me some resource or video to launch a game for Beta testing, or we have to publish the game for that first?

[JillD.]

I tried and... no solo developers allowed... unfortunately Epic only allows organizations and publishers as always, and I think Steam is a better option, they allow "Everyone"...not "almost" everyone.

[JillD.]

Solo devs not allowed, why?... unfortunately Epic only allows organizations, so I think Steam is still a better option, they allow "Everyone" not "almost" everyone, Steam cares about the indie community.

EGS used to have a "No VR Only" requirement but I couldn't find it in the documentation. Are VR-only games now allowed on EGS?

[comfylookingchair]

NSFW games are not allowed, so I will stick to Steam

[williamcousert]

Can this be used to publish movies and tv shows that were created using Unreal Engine?

[mostudiosportugal]

i have problems setting up I can't access to epic game store section complaints about restrict access is not working yet or what is the problem?

[alexanderalikin]

Unban Russians please, first of all, on the Unreal marketplace. Many of us live abroad, we have foreign bank accounts.

[guilloisvincent]

So the EOS system can become testable without the dev tools? With access Key on a Sandbox ?

[asciente]

Did y'all do controller support yet??

[auroracrowleystudio]

Dear Unreal, I cant seem to get Unreal installed on my system. I have brand new Imac 24... When Im in epic games launcher, Unreal is grey'd out. Any advice is appreciated.

[rustonos]

excuse me, where is the third person based game quiz tutorial?

[blackivy]

Looks like an updated version of steams lol

[Cloroqx]

This is horrible. EGS was great because of the curation.
