Hi,
I have a few pieces of feedback, which I feel will make parts of the store more user-friendly, and a lot more convenient to use for playing games, as well as browsing the store.
I’ve attached concepts for these to this post, to better showcase how each would work.
- Preview on Hover for Add-ons pages
I understand the “Preview on Hover” feature was previously added, but then removed later on. I think this feature should be added back to add-ons pages, as it helps consumers see additional details, without having to navigate back-and-fourth between multiple store pages.
- Clear icons for Epic and Game features
Currently, the features listed on each store page seems a little unclear when users want to have a quick glance at what features a game has implemented. I think each of the game features should come with an icon, which makes it clearer to users exactly what features are implemented.
I also believe that showing the features with a simple icon could perhaps entice more developers/publishers to list accurate features, as I feel like they kind of act as a “badge” of quality, showing how much thought has been put into development of the game on Epic.
- Ability to create a Start-Menu Shortcut on installation
Lastly, I think adding the ability to quickly add a shortcut to the Windows start-menu - so you can just search for the name of the game and hit launch - would greatly increase the simplicity of launching games from the Epic Games launcher, as it would allow users to launch right into their game, without having to wait for Epic to launch properly first.
