The intention to improve and give more options for organizing and customizing libraries is underway, according to a recent post on Trello, the team management tool used by developers on the Epic Games Store. These highly requested features should be very useful to many customers with large libraries and will make the Epic Games Store more competitive with other customizable storefronts like Steam.
The Epic Games Store was released in 2018 as part of Epic’s push to create a competitive platform with Epic games alongside many other exclusive titles and releases. One of its most successful features is the Epic Games Store’s weekly free games show, which occasionally gives away AAA games typically worth between $40 and $60.
Players who have been on the platform since the beginning now probably have several hundred free games in their libraries, which has fueled demand for improved methods of managing these growing collections. Thanks to free games and releases that remain exclusive to Epic Games Store For more than a year, the store’s popularity has steadily increased.
Much of the Epic Games Store development process is easily visible to the public thanks to Trello, a management platform that allows developers to manage task lists to develop additional features, fix bugs, and establish roadmaps for future projects.
One of the most notable additions to the Epic Games Store Trello board is “Favorites and Collections,” pinned under the “Up Next” category. A screenshot of the feature is included, showing a dropdown menu of games that can be added to custom collections or sent to a default “favorites” folder.
Many of these features are already present in other stores, such as the Epic Games Store’s biggest competitor, Steam. While weekly free games and exclusives have helped drive traffic to the service, improved user experience and enhanced features like customizable libraries are an important step if the Epic Games Store wants to steer players away from its established collections. on Steam.
