The Epic Game Store will update features including:
Player card
The “player card” feature will be launched soon. Clicking on a friend’s name in the social panel will display their player card and provide several new options. Viewing a friend’s business card will allow players to manage friend options or view common friends and other operations. In the future, you can also join other player groups, invite other players to a new group, and customize player business cards.
Enhanced search system
The social panel of the Epic game store will bring stronger search tools. Now the search results will include the number of mutual friends, cross-platform search options, and better matching results. If the player has a game invitation that needs to be responded to, he can click to join directly, and the game will automatically run and join the friend’s game.
Minimize display
When browsing the Epic game store, players do not have to open a separate window but can use a readily available, reduced social panel. Here, players will see notifications such as game invitations or friend requests.
Do Not Disturb
The “Do Not Disturb” mode will ensure that players will not receive notifications from game invitations or friend requests during the game.
Whisper (Whisper)
Since the number of people using the private message function is too small, the function will be removed from the shelves, and a more effective player communication function will be studied in the future. In the future, the Epic Game Store will launch more features around the social system including:
Introduction to the Party System
In the future, the Epic Games launcher will include a brand-new group system, where players can form groups by themselves and communicate through voice, text, and multiple methods. Players can join or leave the group at any time, and group members will share group control permissions. Whether in the game or when looking for a new game with friends, players can talk freely with friends and group members.
Group window
The new group system will include the “active group window”, which is a window specially prepared for the player’s currently active group. This window will contain a series of options, allowing players and group friends to communicate with each other through voice and text, and play together.
Join or leave the group at any time
If a friend in the group goes offline, the remaining group members will not be disbanded. In the group window, each group member can freely adjust the audio and video options. You can also invite other players and then lock the group.
Play together as a group in the game
In the game, players can choose to open a simplified group window containing a list of group members and their status.
