Next year Epic Games will launch a cross-platform SDK. It integrates with the Unreal Engine and Unity engines. The company will add the following features to it:

  • the ability to log in to a profile from seven different platforms;
  • friend lists;
  • overlays for Windows and Mac;
  • voice communication;
  • cloud saves;
  • achievements, trophies, etc.

The tools will be compatible with all engines, platforms and stores. They will comply with GDPR. Epic Games is also working on supporting user-generated content, improving social features, and anti-cheat.

Development, testing and improvement of such services are expensive. It is cheaper to adapt a ready-made tool for a lot of games and a large number of users. The goal of Epic Games is to help game developers achieve success. We will launch a large set of cross-platform gaming tools that have been tested by 200 million players on seven platforms.
