Every exclusive game available in the Epic Games Store

The Epic Games Store has managed to become a real threat to Steam in just a matter of months. Launched in 2018, the store from the studio behind money-printer Fortnite has enticed developers both large and small with far friendlier revenue splits than Steam. Now, there are a lot of exclusive games on the Epic Games Store.

Although many titles have made their way over to Steam — including Metro Exodus and Borderlands 3 — Epic has a strong lineup of exclusive titles. In addition to AAA blockbusters from publishers like Ubisoft, Epic manages to grab the attention of a lot of indie outfits.

Although we don’t have as many games lined up for the Epic Games Store as in previous years, there’s a lot for fans to look forward to. Ubisoft is continuing to support the platform, which means we’ll likely see upcoming releases in the publisher’s popular franchises released on the platform. Additionally, Remedy Entertainment (developer of Control) announced that its next two games would be exclusive to the platform, and Playdead and GenDesign have exclusives coming, as well.

We’ll likely see a continued tread of PS5 games on Epic, too. Although Sony doesn’t publish games exclusively on Epic, many PS5 console exclusives have already shown up on Epic over Steam.

Borderlands 4 is the most multiplayer-focused game in the franchise yet

Wednesday afternoon, PlayStation and Gearbox Software teased new Borderlands 4 content and showed a lot more about the game than we've seen up until now, including new movement mechanics, two of the four playable Vault Hunters, and much more. The first part of the video showed a panther/tiger made of phase energy on its back in a decidedly cat-like pose, moments before it leapt onto an enemy and removed its head in classic Borderlands fashion.

The 20 minute deep-dive gave players a look at the new systems in play with the latest game. Set on the planet Kairos, Borderlands 4 has a "more grounded tone, pushing gameplay ahead further than ever before," according to Randy Pitchford, founder of Gearbox Entertainment. Don't worry, though; the game still has plenty of its over-the-top chaotic charm with all the Psychos you can shake a shotgun at.

Remember Flappy Bird? It’s back as an Android exclusive

Epic Games Store has brought Flappy Bird, the viral game where you tap repeatedly tap the screen to guide the bird as far as you can without hitting pipes and other obstacles, back to Android devices over a decade after it disappeared.

According to a report from Polygon, Flappy Bird Publishing relaunched Flappy Bird as an Android-exclusive game with help from Epic Games after game developer Dong Nguyen pulled it from Apple's App Store and Google Play Store in 2014. Last year, Nguyen said he was not involved in the game's revival nor is he making any profit from it.

This $1,700 gaming handheld is a treat for Evangelion fans
OneXPlayer X1 Pro limited edition

The OneXPlayer X1 Pro is back on the market with a fresh, anime-inspired look, upgraded internals, and an absurdly high price point. If you haven't laid eyes on this handheld before, it's like the Microsoft Surface and the Nintendo Switch had a baby — and this particular model looks like it was delivered on the floor of an anime convention dedicated to Evangelion.

In addition to being a gaming handheld, it's also a 2-in-1 PC. A kickstand on the rear lets you prop up the screen, and it has a detachable keyboard — also Evangelion-themed — that you can remove on the fly. The gamepads on both sides of the screen give it the look of a bug with too-small wings, but they can be detached and used as a gamepad.
