The platform saw a 15% rise in consumer expenditure, reaching $1.09 billion. However, third-party game sales experienced an 18% dip, totaling $255 million.

After introducing the Epic Games Store for Android and iOS in the European Union, cross-platform accounts expanded by 94 million, reaching 898 million in 2024.

Average daily users climbed 6% to 31.5 million, and monthly active users also increased by 6% to 67.2 million last year.

Epic also announced the extension of its 'Now on Epic' initiative until January 31, 2026, which allows developers to port their games to the platform and retain 100% of net revenue for the initial six months, similar to the Epic First Run program.

Looking forward, Epic plans to focus on developing its mobile store, aiming to enhance the app library and discovery features to support its expanding game collection.
