The Epic Games Store already has a functionality that users have been asking for for a long time. Although it is limited to a few games and it will take time to implement it en masse.
The Epic Games Store lacks many features so that it can rival Steam and for users it is no longer simply a store and a launcher from which they get a free game a week and start Fortnite. Epic Games is slow to add features to its launcher, but one has already arrived that several users will like: saved games in the cloud.
Don't lose your game from the Epic Games Store ... In some games
The option to save games and have the Epic Games Store save it to retrieve it in the future is good news. There are those who do not want to lose their progress when they handle several computers, they are going to format theirs or renew it ... That help is always appreciated to avoid scares and problems.
But now we get into the fine print: it is only available in a few games. The list of games compatible with this option has not transpired but we can imagine that the most powerful titles and many that have been giving away should already have it.
According to Tim Sweeney, it is not a process that can be launched with all the games on the Epic Games Store by pressing a button and that's it. The process has to be done by hand and for each game to be implemented, but it does not require each developer to do it themselves because Epic Games already does it. Although it is limited and in a slow process of introduction, it is appreciated that they are putting things that they promised us and that for now have not arrived.
They have many things to add so that those who complain that the store is only a launcher without options for the user compared to Steam. Of course there are superfluous things like inventory or stickers that are not essential but have a shopping cart to prevent them from thinking that they are using the card fraudulently; or user analysis are added that will greatly improve the user experience.
