Watch out, Steam, there's a new hotshot on the block and its name is Epic Games Store. Today, after almost exactly three years of being a digital storefront, the Epic Games Store finally added in a shopping cart.
This unique feature seems to be so rare and amazing, that Epic Games created an entire writeup about this feature being added. They continued to pull out all the stops for this feature announcement by also creating an entire video trailer for the shopping cart. Can you imagine just how robust this shopping cart is after being absent for three years?
God, what a time to be alive! Now, you can use Epic creator code "Zips" at checkout on multiple items at once! Isn't that just grand? You'll probably also get to use it when pre-ordering all of Epic Games Store exclusives that are announced tonight at The Game Awards. Huzzah!
As you’re browsing the store, click the shiny new ADD TO CART button to add items for purchase. Continue shopping and adding games until you’re ready to checkout. It’s that easy! Now you can load up on free games, raid a sale or pick up that new release you’ve been eyeing, all in one shopping spree. While we’re talking about buttons, we should also mention the BUY NOW button is still there and will continue launching the single-items checkout experience.
Once you’re done filling up your cart, the checkout experience has the same features you’re familiar with, plus a few updates:
