Having launched in 2018, it’s only now, in October 2021, that the Epic Games Store is getting around to implementing proper achievements in the games being sold and played there.
While there have been achievements in some games popping up over the last year, those were put there by developers on a game-by-game basis, and Epic is now calling those “developer achievements”.
What’s launching next week is something else; platform-wide achievements, baked right into the store, just like you’d see on Steam. They’ll be called—wait for it—Epic Achievements, and will run on a familiar points system, only here those points will be called “XP”.
