Epic Games Store intends to arrive on Microsoft's next Xbox console the moment the new hardware launches, the company has indicated. The move would put Epic's storefront directly on a first-party console at launch, expanding its reach beyond PC and existing platforms. Specifics about features, curated content or exact launch partnerships remain limited for now.

  • Launch timing: Epic is targeting availability on the new Xbox from launch day rather than arriving later in the console lifecycle.
  • Platform reach: This would extend Epic's store presence into Microsoft's ecosystem alongside the Xbox storefront, potentially changing how some users access games.
  • Unknowns: Details such as whether Epic's launcher experience, account systems, in-app purchases or storefront exclusives will be fully supported on the console have not been disclosed.
  • Industry impact: If confirmed, the move could affect publisher decisions, cross-buy arrangements and competition between digital marketplaces on consoles.
