Epic secures deals with Capcom, Square Enix, and Bandai Namco to bring exclusive PC releases to their platform throughout 2025.
In a major move that could reshape the PC gaming landscape, Epic Games Store has announced exclusive partnerships with three of Japan's biggest game publishers. The deals will bring several highly anticipated titles exclusively to Epic's platform for the first six months after release. Capcom's upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds, Square Enix's Final Fantasy XVII, and Bandai Namco's new Tekken 8 expansion will all launch as Epic exclusives. The partnership also includes commitments to optimize these games specifically for PC, with features like ultrawide monitor support and advanced graphics options. Epic is offering enhanced revenue sharing terms to these publishers, which industry analysts suggest could influence other major publishers to follow suit.
