However, GTA V has brought in a huge wave of new users. But the company's store still has a long way to go to catch up with its main competitor Steam.
The company announced that its business has 58 million monthly active users. But that's just below the number Valve recently reported on its Steam store, which has 120 million monthly active players.
In December 2020, Epic Games reported 56 million monthly active users. This means that the platform has added 2 million users since then.
This is a slower growth rate than the company has experienced in the past. In contrast, the number of monthly active users increased from 32 million in December 2019 to 56 million in December 2020.
