It has been three years since the Epic Games Store came online, and finally, it has a shopping cart now. Epic Games is celebrating the release with plenty of inward facing jokes. There"s a new blog post and even a short trailer attached to the feature.
As you would expect, the cart finally allows customers to buy more than one item at a time for convenience, may it be games or DLC, without having to go through the process for each and every purchase like before.
Here"s a quick rundown provided by Epic about the new feature and its capabilities:
- Review all items currently in cart with prices in local currencies (see supported currencies)
- Select preferred payment option (including Epic Wallet in the US and Canada)
- List of regional payment processors can be found here
- Enter a Support-a-Creator to give 5% (Epic-funded base rate) or more of your purchase price to a creator of your choice, creator codes now work on all eligible items the cart
- Lastly, confirm purchase and complete the transaction
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for — a way to buy multiple items on the Epic Games Store… at the same time 🤯🤭
