The Epic Games Store has made a habit for several years of regularly offering free games. An effective, but expensive way to attract PC gamers to its platform. Well, the online store wants to go further by integrating a cashback system. Explanations.
The PC launcher market is occupied by many players, so much so that it is difficult to find a place alongside the Steam juggernaut. Never mind, the Epic Games Store has established itself over the years as one of the essential references in the sector.
To attract more and more users, the Epic platform has implemented several operations. First of all, PC players can retrieve a free game from their toy library each week. Thus, they were able to discover the brilliant Star Wars Squadrons, the complete Bioshock collection or the excellent Wolfenstein The New Order. And with Christmas approaching, users can usually pick up around 15 games between December 16 and 31.
The Epic Games Store is going cashback
And this May 18, 2023, the Epic Games Store has just added a new feature that is likely to be emulated: Epic Rewards. Behind this name hides quite simply a cashback system.
In short, every purchase made on the Epic Games Store will get you to recover 5% of the amount of the sum invested in the form of vouchers. This is an unstoppable technique for retaining customers, since these reductions are valid only on the platform.
Plus, they won’t stay in your Epic Wallet indefinitely. After 25 months, your vouchers expire. One more reason to use them to splurge. The company specifies that the new Epic Rewards program is activated for all users (except minors who do not have authorization to make purchases). No registration necessary.
“So just buy games, apps, add-ons and virtual currency on the Epic Games store, even V-Bucks. You automatically earn 5% Epic Rewards, which will be added to your balance within two weeks (14 days) of making the purchase,” explains Epic in its official press release. Finally, we add that Epic cashback is combinable with other promotional offers.
