Today, Epic Games is launching the Epic First Run program they announced back in August. At the same time, they announced another, similar program – Now On Epic – that incentivizes developers to bring their back catalogs to the Epic Games Store. Both programs are opt-in and offer ways to temporarily boost your revenue share from 88% to 100%. Here's a brief rundown of how they both work.

Epic First Run

• Earn 100% revenue share for 6 months in exchange for Epic Games Store exclusivity
• Open to developers and publishers with eligible products launching on or after October 16, 2023
• Participating developers must launch exclusively on Epic Games Store and remain exclusive for 6 months
• Revenue share returns to 88%/12% when the exclusivity period ends
