Drip. Drip. What\u2019s that sound? It\u2019s just the painfully slow updates rolling out to Epic\u2019s Game Store. Epic has reached out with their monthly update, detailing just what\u2019s changing through August on their most controversial of digital storefronts.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll start with the headline addition &#8211; Cloud saves are finally beginning to roll out to a select group of games. These will automatically upload your game saves at the end of a session and then allow you to pick up where you left off from a different system. The rollout is limited for now as Epic is still testing cloud saves with developers, although they do claim upcoming Epic Store games will support cloud games from\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The currently supported list of cloud save titles is as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Alan Wake Close to the Sun Darksiders III Enter the Gungeon Genesis Alpha One GNOG Hyperlight Drifter\u00a0 Kingdom New Lands Limbo Moonlighter Mutant Year Zero\u00a0 Overcooked Rebel Galaxy Outlaw Sherlock Holmes: The Devil&#8217;s Daughter The Sinking City This War Of Mine World War Z <\/p>\n<p>All Ubisoft titles automatically support cloud saves as well because, well, they basically just run through Uplay.<\/p>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle scrolling-ad-item\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0052787453283862\" data-ad-slot=\"2741061911\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p>Other changes to the Epic Games Store this month include Humble Bundle keyless integration and updated game pages. Humble Bundle keyless basically means you can tie your account to the Humble store and, when you buy a game, it automatically adds it to your Epic library rather than requiring you to input a CD key. In terms of the refreshed product pages, they don\u2019t look all that different to me. Epic claims they now offer \u201cbeefier\u201d game descriptions and greater visibility for upcoming titles. I\u2019m just glad they finally got around to adding release dates.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As for what\u2019s next, Epic is introducing an improved installer, videos on store pages, patch optimisation for devs (reduced patch sizes), and a redesigned game library.<\/p>\n<p> On that latter point, each game is currently a huge tile in the library, which wasn\u2019t really a problem when there were barely any games to buy. The Epic Store\u2019s library has grown fairly rapidly though, so this redesign offers up a list view as well as filters and search functions. Users will also get a playtime tracking feature so you can see how many hours you\u2019ve wasted dying in Tilted Towers.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Current Epic Store Library<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-expandable-img\" src=\"https:\/\/game-debate.com\/blog\/images\/_id1565881521_343178.jpg\" title=\"Current Epic Store Library\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Upcoming Epic Store Library<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"blog-expandable-img\" src=\"https:\/\/game-debate.com\/blog\/images\/_id1565881535_343178.jpg\" title=\"Upcoming Epic Store Library\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Drip.
