Epic Games announced that the Epic Games Store has gone live with titles from well-known game studios. The first games to go live include Annapurna’s Ashen, Supergiant’s Hades, and TinyBuild’s Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek.

Epic announced on Tuesday that the online store for PC and Mac games will only take a 12 percent cut of revenue for games sold on the store, compared to 30 percent for Valve’s Steam and other major app stores. You could call it the store that Fortnite built, as the popularity of Epic’s battle royale game has generated huge revenues and opened new doors for Epic.

Epic’s Support-A-Creator program connects developers directly with over 10,000 creators such as YouTubers and Twitch streamers, and rewards creators for bringing added exposure to game developers. Developers who opt to participate set the rate of creator revenue sharing, which creators earn on each attributable sale. Epic will pay the first 5 percent for the first 24 months.
