The Epic Games Store 2024 Year in Review is online with a recap of last year on the store along with a look at the future, discussing planned features and the most anticipated games coming in 2025. The store continues to pursue aggressive strategies to try and chip away at the first-mover advantage enjoyed by Steam, including its weekly giveaways. Word is it offered everyone more than $2,000 worth of free games last year: "Lastly, our Free Games Program has continued to deliver PC favorites to new audiences for the 5th year running. Epic players stocked their libraries with over $2,000 USD worth of great PC titles across 89 giveaways. The program is not slowing down and will continue in 2025, on both PC and mobile." Here's the outline of the increased engagement this inspired:
