Calling all game devs - the Epic Games Store publishing tools are now available! Our publishing tools offer a streamlined, self-service process for distributing, rating (via IARC), and providing localized information about products on the Epic Games Store. You’ll have everything you need to manage your presence on our storefront so that you can take control of your product’s lifecycle.
Watch this video to learn more about accessing the publishing tools, the release management process, and the different options available to you when creating your product’s store presence.
Great! Is it possible to get proper video instruction on how to upload binary files to store?
Also, it will be great in future to have in-browser feature to upload that. Thank you
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the Epic Games Store provides developers with a range of publishing tools and resources to help them distribute and promote their games on the platform. Keep in mind that features and tools may have evolved since then. Here’s an overview of some of the key Epic Games Store publishing tools:
Epic Games Store Developer Portal:
This is the hub for developers to manage their games on the Epic Games Store. Developers can create and manage game listings, upload assets, set pricing, and access various tools and reports.
Epic Games Store SDK:
The SDK (Software Development Kit) provides developers with resources and tools to integrate their games with Epic Games Store features. This can include integration with user authentication, achievements, leaderboards, and more.
Epic Games Store Commerce SDK:
This SDK helps developers integrate the store’s purchasing and commerce functionalities directly into their games. It allows players to make in-game purchases and transactions using the same systems as the Epic Games Store.
Epic Games Store Build Upload and Management:
Developers can upload game builds, updates, and patches through the Developer Portal. The portal provides tools to manage different build versions, patches, and deployment.
Asset Management:
Developers can upload various assets for their game listings, including screenshots, videos, banners, and promotional materials. High-quality assets can help attract players and showcase the game effectively.
Store Configuration:
Developers can configure various aspects of their game’s store listing, such as setting the price, defining release date, and providing descriptions and tags for discoverability.
Promotions and Sales:
Developers can set up temporary discounts, sales events, and special offers to attract players and boost visibility for their games.
Analytics and Reporting:
The Epic Games Store provides data and insights into how your game is performing. Developers can access analytics to track sales, player engagement, and more.
Localization and Regional Availability:
Developers can tailor their game’s availability to specific regions and languages using the Epic Games Store tools.
Storefront Customization:
Developers can customize the look and feel of their game’s store page, ensuring it aligns with the game’s branding and theme.
User Reviews and Ratings:
The Epic Games Store allows players to leave reviews and ratings for games. Developers can monitor and respond to these reviews.
Community Engagement:
Developers can engage with the Epic Games Store community through forums, announcements, and updates.
Remember that specific features and tools might have been added or modified after September 2021. If you’re an aspiring developer or are planning to publish a game on the Epic Games Store, I recommend checking the official Epic Games Store Developer Portal and documentation for the most up-to-date information on the available publishing tools and resources.
