I'm genuinely shocked how much Epic poured into the store and it still lacks so much basic features. Sorting games is still extremely barebones, store is filled with NFT/crypto garbage, the store still looks like a college student's first front-end project, and last time I used the launcher to pick up free games (last year), it was still slow as hell. What were they doing in the past 5 years aside from dropping millions on exclusivity deals?

Epic is going to have to prioritize the store and try some new initiatives while also doubling down on earning pivotal exclusives if it is going to have a chance. I also hope other viable competitors arrive.

They have achievements on all games, it's been the case for two years

Edit: to be more specific, on all games on-boarded after March 9th 2023 (need to have the same achievements as on other platforms) and available at the dev's discretion since May 2022

I just checked this again, first for game I had there for free but bought later on Steam - City of Brass - and couldn't find achievements anywhere. I then looked into Fortnite and League of Legends - also no achievements. I then found there is "my achievements" link somewhere in my profile, from where I could click "browse games with achievements" and turns out, from few dozens games I own there not a single one has achievements.

I admit that I should have been more specific, the change wasn't retroactive, so I should have said that achievements have been available since early 2022 and since early 2023 games can't release without the same achievements as other platforms

https://www.exophase.com/platform/epic/page/27/?q=&sort=awards

Over 1300 games with achievements

If achievements haven't been added to some games released prior to that it's on the devs though.
