Epic Games have release their 2025 Year in Review for the Epic Games Store, and they appear to be doing doing quite well compared to previous years. Be sure to check out our guide to play titles from Epic Games Store on SteamOS / Linux.

For 2025 they're reporting 317 million total PC users, with a 67 million average for monthly active users (-1%) and 31 million average daily active users (-2%).

Epic has a lot of cash thanks to the success of Fortnite, and they've been burning through it to get people into using their store along with giving out all those free games (100 given away free in 2025). So third-party PC game revenue is essential if they want the store to actually succeed and it appears they are starting to turn things around.

Epic’s corporate overlords don’t have an original thought rattling around in their collective heads. Their entire business model is to flail around, copy anything that seems remotely successful with a reskin, and hope it sticks. Not even free products will convince me to download their laucher, or anything they put their mierdas touch on.
