User Data Analysis on Epic Games Store
The Epic Games Store, launched in December 2018, has seen significant growth over the years. With over 4,000 gaming titles available, the platform has introduced 1,100 new games since 2023, expanding its catalog.
One of the most popular games on the platform is Fortnite, developed by Epic Games. As of November 2023, Fortnite boasted 650 million registered users, with an impressive 150 million new registrations in just eight months.
