Epic Games Store will support achievements next week as the new Epic Achievements system is set to go live then. For developers, this means you’ll have access to tools to activate them on your games and for layers, specific games will have support next week.
Epic Games has spent the last year working with development partners to get Epic Achievements ready. Next week, you can start earning XP in Rocket League, Hades, Pillars of Eternity, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, Zombie Army 4, Alan Wake Remastered, and more.
How do the achievements work? Epic Games has broken it down for us, by sorting them into four tiers based on XP value, with Platinum Achievement awarding the most XP.
Here are the Epic Achievement tiers and the amount of additional XP you get for the Achievement:
- Bronze = 5-45 XP
- Silver = 50-95 XP
- Gold = 100-200 XP
- Platinum = 250 XP
Any supported titles will have an Epic Achievement detail page, capable of tracking and sharing your progress in gaining XP for that game.
Last year, Epic began rolling out developer achievements, that was owned and operated by developers. Epic Achievements includes additional benefits for players, providing a more in-line experience with that on other consoles. Don’t worry though, the developer achievements will remain functional in most games if they’ve been previously implemented.
