Some people let their opinions of Epic be known in Exodus’ review section, which caused Google’s result for Steam searches to show a description that read: “F*ck Epic Games Store.” VG247 explains that Google pulled up the review from the Steam homepage, which features Metro Exodus. Over a month since its debut, Metro Exodus has already seen resounding success on Epic Games. That big Asian country Wingefors mentioned is doubtlessly China, which is becoming a huge market for Steam-simplified Chinese is the second-most-common language on the platform, and has been the most popular on more than one occasion. Metro Exodus Sales Are Over 2.5 Times Higher on Epic Games Store Than Metro: Last Lights Steam Launch. “I was happy to see it’s been performing well, selling about 200,000 copies already, and surprising to see that one big country in Asia was the biggest country buying the product, very close to America.” The Fortnite bunch have been making a play to turn their store into a serious Steam rival for a few weeks now, but the much-anticipated third Metro game was a hell of a scalp to take from Valve. Speaking during an earnings presentation, Lars Wingefors, CEO of Deep Silver’s parent company, Embracer Group, said: “Metro performed well on Epic and I was happy with the performance on the Epic Games Store, but that doesn’t say I’m not happy with the Steam performance either, so it’s been great the first days.” There were shocked faces all round when Metro Exodus was suddenly declared to be exclusive to Epics increasingly pugnacious new store yesterday. Metro Exodus’ exclusivity deal ended a few days ago, and even though it’s been available elsewhere for over a year, plenty of Steam users are buying the game. This led to Valve calling the decision “unfair,” and the previous Metro titles getting review bombed by angry fans. The news came despite pre-orders for Exodus being available on Steam since its reveal. However, at the 2019 Game Developers Conference, Epic announced that Metro Exodus is doing very well on the new platform. This made it really difficult for loyal fans who pre-ordered the next iteration of the series. At the time, I said it was an act of war. It appears, however, that plenty of people were willing to wait until the title returned to Steam, where it’s been performing “great” since its recent arrival.īack in January 2019, two weeks before release, Metro publisher Deep Silver announced that the latest installment of the franchise would be selling exclusively on Epic’s store until February 15, 2020. Fans of Metro Exodus may remember the controversy surrounding its late-stage migration to Epic instead of sticking with Steam. When Epic announced that Metro Exodus would be a year-long Epic Store exclusive, it was close to release and had already been taking pre-orders on Steam. So, when it comes to games selection, you should choose Steam if you want the widest range of options. In a nutshell: Metro Exodus was one of 2019's best games, but its last-minute timed exclusivity deal with the Epic Games Store brought a lot of controversy. Epic also has the willingness to pay for timed exclusives, and for some time, the Epic Games Store was the only place to play Metro Exodus and Borderlands on PC.
