Thanks to a successful promotion called The vault monthly number of active users of the digital store Epic Games Store reached a value of 61 million.
As part of this campaign, which started on May 14, all interested PC gamers could get such large projects as free Grand theft auto 5, Borderlands: The Handsome Collection and Civilization 6.
“Since the launch of the Epic Games Store digital store, we always wanted to organize a grand event as part of our weekly successful free games distribution program to give gamers from around the world something incredible and decided to play big,” said Epic Games Store general manager Steve Allison
“The results exceeded all our expectations … In 2023, we grew at a truly historic pace,” he added.
During The Vault Campaign Epic Games Store managed to set immediately a number of records:
- 13 million – average peak number of active users;
- 61 million – this mark reached the indicator of the number of active users per month.
Nevertheless, even taking into account the incredible surge in activity associated mainly with the free distribution of a criminal action movie Grand theft auto 5, Epic Games Store still can not compete with the numbers of its main competitor – a platform Steam.
For example, in March this year, the Valve digital store also reached a new record high. During the height of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the number of simultaneous users of the service reached the mark 23.5 million.
