Furthermore, SDK 1.15 also introduces account linking with Steam to an ‘Epic Proxy account’ wherein players are basically setting up an Epic Games account “created under the hood for their Steam account” without all the hassle of going through the registration process. And a win to Epic too as more users onboarding to Epic Games, while gaining access to player bases from other platforms like Steam. Microsoft is reportedly developing an update for its Xbox app that will allow users to view and access their game libraries from platforms like Steam and the Epic Games Store.
