Upcoming horror game Metro Exodus will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store, publisher Deep Silver confirms, but Steam owner Valve calls the decision ‘unfair.’
Since launching the Epic Games Store, Fortnite creator Epic Games has been securing deals with various publishers and developers to offer their games exclusively. Several studios have already taken up that offer, and today the list got a little longer, as the PC version of Metro Exodus will be exclusive to the Epic Games Store, too.
Metro Exodus publisher Deep Silver made the announcement in a press release earlier today. Deep Silver CEO Dr. Klemens Kundratitz specifically referred to Epic Games’ “generous revenue terms” as the reason for the exclusivity deal. Kundratitz said that it allows it to invest more into the Metro franchise and in its partnership with Metro Exodus developer 4A Games.
Epic Games founder and CEO Tim Sweeney echoed this, adding that the 88/12 revenue split enables companies to “further reinvest in building great games” while “improving the economics of game stores for everybody.
