Epic Games Store has more than 100M users
Epic's PC game store, the Epic Game Storereached over 100 million customers. The company credits the success in part on its strategy of giving away games each week, and it says that it will continue to do so throughout 2020.
More than twelve months have passed since the launch of the Epic Games Store - and the steam competitor has mixed up the PC industry, generated $ 680 million in sales and attracted 108 million registered users. But how successful have exclusive games like Metro: Exodus and Borderlands 3 really been? Epic provided the following numbers:
- 108 million Epic Game Store customers overall
- $680 million spent by PC gamers in the Epic Game Store
- $251 million spent on third-party games in the Epic Game Store
- 73 free games given away in 2019
- 200+ million free games claimed by customers
- The average rating of all the free games in 80 percent
The most popular games in the Epic Game Store in 2019 were World War Z, Satisfactory, Dauntless, Untitled Goose Game, and The Outer Worlds, Epic says. Furthermore, the team will extend its free games program to 2020. Not only that, but Epic Games will sign up more exclusive deals in 2020.

So the average account spends $6.30 on the store.
$680 million spent on games with an average of $50 still means they sold 13,6 million copies, right?
So... 108 million accounts that buy 13,6 million copies?
Which could mean, that something around 13% of accounts bought a single game (or less % of accounts who bought more than one game), the other 87% of accounts did not, and are in for the free games only?
Of course this is just messing around with numbers, faulty thinking, ignoring any micro transactions for Fortnite, people who buy more than one game per account, claim more than two free games per account, etc. etc.
But very interesting statistics.

I had the launcher to play UT and now they give me free games. I won't buy from them. Steam is where I play and nothing new interests me.

Indeed. Haven't bought anything so far...got a sh!tload of free games, though. But Steam and GoG had the games I actually wanted (and on sale) last month.
