Phoenix Point will be an Epic store exclusive, devs offer refunds to backers

Phoenix Point, which I think we’ll be introducing as “the spiritual successor to X-Com from co-designer Julian Gollop” is set to launch this year - but it won’t be on the originally announced platforms of Steam and GOG. Instead, Phoenix Point joins the growing list of timed Epic Games store exclusives like Metro Exodus. The PC version of Phoenix Point will be available exclusively on the Epic store for one year, at which point it’ll be available on other stores including Steam and GOG. Early backers who selected one of those two versions will still get an Epic key when the game launches, and they’ll receive the other store key when the exclusivity period is up. “We recognize that some of you may have backed or pre-ordered Phoenix Point with an expectation of the platform you’d be able to play it on,” Gollop writes in the announcement, “and that this update changes that. If for any reason you are not happy with this change, we will be happy to offer you a full refund and apologize for any inconvenience caused.”
