Epic Games has confirmed plans to launch the Epic Games Store on Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox console at launch. Steve Allison, Epic’s GM, said the company will be on board “like, on day one” if Microsoft’s policies remain welcoming.

The next-gen Xbox is rumored to be a PC/console hybrid, potentially shipping with multiple game storefronts pre-installed. While Epic has yet to start actual development for the console version, the move could mark the first time a major third-party marketplace is supported natively on an Xbox device.

This approach highlights Microsoft’s push for a more open, platform-agnostic ecosystem across consoles, PCs, and handheld devices.
