Epic Games store adds Steam-style refunds and regional pricing

January 11, 2019 Epic has changed its refund policy and brought regional pricing to its store.

The Epic Games store has a new refund policy that now matches Steam. You’ll have “unlimited refunds,” as long as you’re making your claim within 14 days of purchase (or 14 days from release on pre-orders) and have less than two hours played. The store still doesn’t have Steam’s convenient self-service option, but that is intended for a future update. For now, refunds will still be handled through support tickets. That news comes from Epic’s Sergey Galyonkin on Twitter. This update also brings regional pricing to the store, so players in the 30 supported regions - covering 130 countries - shouldn’t be overpaying relative to their currency. Store values are still in USD for now, but the local currencies will become officially available over time. Epic always stated plans to offer refunds through its store, though the process it first launched wasn't exactly clear. The original idea was to give customers annual tokens to redeem for "no questions asked" refunds, but the yearly limit on requests didn't sit well with prospective buyers.
