Epic Games says it has been in discussions with Microsoft and would pursue placement of the Epic Games Store on Microsoft's next Xbox hardware if the platform allows third‑party PC storefronts. VP and GM Steve Allison discussed the company's intentions during a conversation with Windows Central, framing Epic as ready to participate should Microsoft move in that direction.

  • Epic Games has held talks with Microsoft about future platform plans, according to Steve Allison.
  • The comments came in an interview with Windows Central amid rumours that the next Xbox may support PC storefronts.
  • Epic says it would seek to offer its store on the new console if Microsoft permits third‑party PC storefronts.
  • If realised, the move could broaden digital storefront options on Xbox and affect how players access PC‑style marketplaces on console hardware.
