Epic Games Store Data

A game at zero for seven days is a price event with a start and an end, not a missing price.

The Epic Games Store has run weekly free-game giveaways since December 2018, and those are recorded as dated price events rather than as a price of zero with no context. Its developer terms moved too: from 1 June 2025 developers keep 100% of the first $1 million of net revenue per product per year through Epic's payment processing, above which the split returns to 88/12, with the threshold resetting each 1 January from 2026. Its mobile store launched on 16 August 2024. Every record carries its data basis — public page, official API, or licensed and therefore excluded — and nothing unpublished is modelled, so a figure a source does not publish comes back null with a reason.

Terms changes are not prices, but they explain price behaviour, so they are stored as dated facts.

Epic Games Store at a glance

How we handle Epic Games Store specifically

Platform-specific handling, not a generic retail template pointed at a different domain.

Free games: Weekly since December 2018
Treatment: Dated price events
1 Jun 2025: 100% of first $1m per product per year
Above that: 88/12 split
Threshold: Resets each 1 January from 2026
Mobile store: Launched 16 August 2024
Exclusives: Recorded with their windows
Refresh: Daily, hourly during sales

Platform specifics

Free events and paid prices

These are the reasons a Epic Games Store dataset needs its own handling rather than a shared retail schema.

Event fields

A giveaway window and a discount are different mechanics, and merging them makes the average price of a catalogue meaningless.

price_event_type — giveaway, discount or structural change.
event_start and event_end as published.
claim_window distinct from playtime or ownership.
terms_change with its effective date, kept out of price fields.

Exclusivity windows, and what we do not do

Exclusivity windows

Timed exclusivity is recorded from public announcements with its dates, because it explains why a title is absent from other stores. See our Steam page.

Data basis

Prices stay attached to their storefront, region and currency, and a historical low is only ever computed from our own observation archive, as the gaming and sports hub describes.

What we do not do

Treat a giveaway as a discount, claim a free game into an account, use a library or account, or infer an exclusivity deal that was never announced.

Scope

What we collect on Epic Games Store, and what we do not

The right column matters more than the left. Anyone can list fields; the limits are what tell you whether the dataset will hold up.

✅ What we collect

Giveaways as dated events
Event start and end recorded
Discounts kept separate from giveaways
Terms changes dated
Exclusivity windows from announcements
Country and currency on every price
Edition structure captured
Historical low from our own archive
Daily refresh, hourly in sales

❌ What we do not, and why

Giveaways counted as discounts
Claiming games into an account
Accounts or libraries
Inferred exclusivity deals
Modelled sales figures

How we engage

Three ways to engage us

Same collection pipeline and QA underneath. The difference is who holds the schedule and how the data reaches you.

Managed service (most common)

We own the collection, the QA and the delivery. You receive clean data on a schedule and never touch a scraper.

Dedicated engineer assigned to your account
Site changes fixed by us, not reported to you
Scheduled delivery to your warehouse or S3
Named contact on Slack or email

Best fit: Teams who need the data, not the infrastructure.

API access

The same collection pipeline exposed as an authenticated REST endpoint your systems query directly.

On-demand and scheduled endpoints
Rate limits agreed to your load profile
Sandbox keys for integration testing
Versioned schema with deprecation notice

Best fit: Product and engineering teams building on live data.

One-time or project extraction

A defined pull for a specific question — market sizing, diligence, a pitch, a one-off audit.

Fixed scope agreed in writing upfront
Single delivery with full QA report
Methodology documented for your records
Converts to managed if you want continuity

Best fit: Research, strategy and diligence work with a deadline.

Pricing

Every engagement is quoted individually, because the honest answer depends on your scope: how many sources, how many records, how often, and how the data reaches you. We scope it with you, run a free pilot on your own sources, and then quote a fixed monthly figure — no per-request metering and no overage billing when volumes move. Request a quote and you will have a number after one call.

Epic Games Store is usually collected alongside its competitors

Almost nobody buys a single platform in isolation. Epic Games Store data becomes useful when it sits next to the competitor set on one schema, refreshed on one schedule, so a price index or availability comparison is genuinely like-for-like.

That is what gaming & sports data covers, and a Epic Games Store-only engagement can be expanded into it without rebuilding. If you already know you need several platforms, start there instead — it is the same pipeline and usually the better scoping conversation.
