Epic Games Store hits nearly 300 million PC users in 2024

What started as a quixotic attempt at competing with Valve’s Steam in 2018 has now become a little less quixotic as Epic posts its “Year in Review” for 2024, boasting numbers that show marked improvement from previous years. The marketplace is still nowhere near Steam’s numbers, but is no longer left behind in the cold despite the comparatively diminutive marketshare.

In terms of good news, Epic says that the store has reached 295 million users on PC and nearly 900 million cross-platform accounts when including things like other devices that play Fortnite (mobile, console, etc). This represents growth of about 100 million from the previous year, boasting a 67 million monthly average user rate. Epic says this is a 6% raise over 2023, but they declined to provide a MAU for the entirety of 2023, instead just focusing on December.
