Epic announced it has launched a rewards program for its PC storefront called Epic Rewards. Users can earn 5% back in rewards for every eligible purchase they make on the Epic Games Store starting today.
All Epic Games account holders are automatically enrolled into the program when they make a purchase. Any games, applications, DLC, and virtual currency, including V-Bucks, will count towards the 5% Epic Rewards. However, the rewards won’t be added immediately to users’ reward balance, but 14 days after the associated purchase is completed.
Certain subscriptions are also eligible to earn reward points. In order to activate that aspect, users need to accept the latest version of the Epic Games Store End User License Agreement by going into their Account Settings and clicking on the Subscriptions tab.
Reward points can be combined with other discounts and coupons, but be aware that they will eventually expire. They will expire in 25 months from the date they were placed in your balance.
The Epic Games Store has been rolling out new features for its platform, including most recently self-publishing tools that allow game developers and publishers to release their games on the storefront. Over the past several years, it has implemented an achievement system and also shopping carts.
