TheEpic Games Storeis finally getting achievements, after itsroadmaphad promised the feature for well over a year. We’ll still have to wait a little longer for the store to get a shopping cart, though.
Epic Gameshas said that “certain games” will start to display achievements as they’re unlocked, but so far onlyArk: Survival Evolvedseems to have the new feature. Apicturefrom the store’s roadmap shows that the system will mimic Sony’s Trophy system more than Microsoft’s points-based approach, with gold, silver and bronze trophies assigned to each achievement.
The achievements are also classified by rarity, such as ‘common’, but Epic has said that the feature is still in its early stages and is subject to change. If you’re a fan of tracking down ‘chievos’, though, you’ll soon have your wish.

Unlock them all
The Epic Games Store continues to give away games each and every week. There’s been some big hitters, too, such asGTA 5and Civilization 6.
The store has become a point of contention for many gamers, however, due to Epic’s exclusivity deals which deprive users on other platforms such asSteamfrom playing a game at launch.
