Key points

DRM: Digital distribution platform including a client required for downloading games. No store-wide DRM is used - developers are free to provide their own DRM solutions and utilize the Epic Online Services SDK for integrating Epic services into the games.^[1] ^[2]

Two-factor authentication: app authenticator or email.

Architectures: Supports 32-bit and 64-bit games. The Epic Games Launcher can run in both 64-bit and 32-bit on Windows.^[3]

Some games can be started without the Epic Games Launcher by creating a shortcut and adding the -EpicPortal command line argument.

Cloud saves

Introduced on July 25, 2019, the feature allows for uploading of locally stored save files and synchronization with the Epic Games servers for cloud storage. Automatic save files uploading is enabled by default in the supported games.

Launcher Cloud Saves

To check games for cloud saves support, look for the Enable Cloud Save toggle by opening the context menu next to the game launch button.

To manually force upload, click on Sync data now from the context menu next to the game launch button.

At the conflict prompt,

Selecting the Download to machine option will download the files stored on the Epic Games servers, completely overwriting the files on the local computer.
Selecting the Upload to cloud option will upload the locally stored files to the Epic Games servers.

When unsure, manually backing up the locally stored save files by copying them to a different location, then choosing the Download to machine option allows to have both on the local computer.

Player Data Storage

As an alternative, Epic Online Services supports saving to the cloud without relying on Epic Games Launcher, making the feature compatible with other platforms if enabled.^[4]

Offline mode

Implemented on February 14, 2019 and expanded on June 16, 2020, the feature enables users to sign into their Epic Games Launcher without an internet connection.^[5]

This feature needs to be first enabled through the settings menu of the launcher for which a normal sign-in is required. After the feature is enabled by the user and the launcher is run without an internet connection, the user will be prompted to retry connection, skip sign-in or to continue in offline mode. The user can enter their Epic Username to go into offline mode.

Epic Online Services

Development Roadmap

Epic Online Services (EOS) is a suite of cross-platform game services available to third-party developers for free and open to any engine, platform, or store.^[6]

In December 2018, Epic Games announced that during 2019 they would launch a large set of cross-platform game services for third-party developers based on services originally built for Fortnite.^[7] In March 2019, the initial set of services was released, consisting of game analytics and player ticketing.^[8] Throughout 2019, these services were implemented in games like Satisfactory, Dauntless, and Borderlands 3.

The Epic Online Services SDK was extended with an in-game overlay that allowed in-app purchases in 2019, followed by the addition of an in-game social overlay and achievements in the summer of 2020.^[9] ^[10] Accessible with ⇧ Shift+F3, the social feature allows players to join or invite friends in games without relying on their multiplayer user interfaces.
