Epic Games Store allows blockchain games to be listed again
The official game distribution store of Epic Games, one of the giants in the gaming industry, has just made some changes in its policies. In these adjustments, Epic Games has allowed games built on a blockchain platform to be relisted on their store.
📣 Heads up: Gods Unchained and Striker Manager 3 have returned to the Store after a change in our content policy regarding ratings for blockchain-based games. Learn more: https://t.co/RQGGzWGeG8

Specifically, blockchain games have been labeled “Adults Only” (AO) due to the integration of blockchain and NFT elements. Once properly labeled, these games will be allowed back and displayed on the Epic Games Store.
Previously, Epic Games Store removed all AO games from its platform, including many similarly labeled blockchain games. With this new adjustment, two popular web3 games Gods Unchained (GODS) and Striker Manager 3 have been “approved” to return.
Immutable (IMX), a Layer-2 blockchain specializing in the gaming ecosystem and also the developer of Gods Unchained, shared with the community about this event:
Web3 gaming is officially back on @EpicGames!
At Immutable, we have taken a proactive approach to advocate for fair policies for web3 games. We are pleased with Epic Games’ policy decision, and @GodsUnchained has relisted on their store.
We are committed to collaborating with… pic.twitter.com/Uo6FswWP9L

“We are delighted with Epic Games’ new policy, and that Gods Unchained is back on their store. This adjustment shows that the traditional gaming industry is embracing experiences from web3 games, and We are getting closer to expanding this acceptance.”
While Epic Games Store shows its openness, its rival, Steam, has implemented a ban on blockchain and NFT-related games from 2021. However, web3 game companies are proving to be innovative advance and increasingly assert their strength, opening up opportunities to enter the traditional gaming world.
A prime example is Immutable, which is expected by VanEck’s Chief Investment Officer to enter the top 25 coins with the largest capitalization on the market, which has pushed the IMX price up sharply in the past few days. In early November, Immutable also cooperated with famous game company Ubisoft to promote the development of blockchain gaming.
