PC Cross Play Easy Development… Epic Games, free launch of new tools

[National Team Moon Young-soo reporter] Epic online service PC crossplay construction tool for game developers has been released for free.

Epic Games (National Team Sweeney) announced on the 17th that it will provide a free tool to easily build cross play between the platform and the store through the launch of the SDK 1.15 of Epic Online Service.

In the meantime, game developers had to implement the services and account systems required by the store to launch games on several stores and platforms, and these services are not intermitted between stores, so they are exactly the same game, but play with friends from other stores from other stores. I couldn't.

The Cross Play Tool, released through the SDK 1.15 of the Epic Online Service, provides developers with all crossplay services that are needed to connect games and players on the store and platform. This allows developers to smoothly connect the players of the Steam and Epic Games Store, and steam players can easily implement a system that can search for friends and play games together for the players of the Epic Games Store.

The crossplay tool of Epic online service will expand its support for more PC stores, including Mac OS and Linux for desktop, starting with the PC platform. In addition, consoles and mobile platforms will also be supported later.

Simon Elace Epic Games Online Service Senior Director said, Crossplay provides opportunities for all friends to gather together to create fun memories through interactive experiences. I am pleased to be able to provide all the crossplay technology that was built for Guys for free. In the future, Crossplay will play an important role in driving the growth of the global game industry.

Epic online service, meanwhile, is a service that provides a variety of tools for cross-platform online services on an SDK free of charge without restriction on engines, platforms, and stores. Last year, the voice chat service, Voice, and the best anti-cheat solutions, Easy Anti-Cheat, were provided free of charge.
