Gaming nowadays is one of the most profitable entertainment spheres thus many people around the world play video games on different platforms. Even though there are lots of console and mobile players PC gaming remains the most popular way to play video games. That explains why there are various PC gaming platforms that sell games and encourage customers to play games via their gaming platforms. In this post, we will share our thoughts about the best PC gaming platforms that exist so far.
Gamers usually prefer playing on their PCs because there are much more games to play and they are also easier to update. Also, you will be able to play in better quality and don’t need to buy additional device to play games. Of course, it is more expensive to upgrade your PC than to buy a new console, for example, but a decent PC can remain as it is for a decade and still be suited to perform newly released games although you might become unable to play at the maximum quality within years.
Nevertheless, we see a tendency that console and mobile games are becoming more and more popular and with such business gains as the purchase of Activision-Blizzard by Microsoft this tendency will continue to grow as more games previously exclusive to PCs will become available on consoles. Anyway, consoles will not supplant PCs in the near future so we can still talk about the best PC gaming platform.
Of course, many will stop on Steam and will not change it for decades because it offers the widest list of games to play, easy to use and has many other community options that encourage you to stay on Steam. But other PC gaming platforms are trying to get some share of the market and offer more sales and game exclusives so maybe sometimes it is wise to switch between several gaming platforms…as we do. That’s when our list of top 3 PC gaming platforms comes in handy.
Undoubtedly the most popular gaming platform for PC users. Valve does everything to keep their fans. From various community options to big sales and even releasing their own portative gaming device Steamdeck. In the past few years, such big companies as EA and Blizzard started to sell their games via Steam in addition to their own gaming platforms as well. That obviously shows how big and important Steam is.
Many players are sceptical about Epic Games Store popularity but the fact is that EGS have driven lots of attention and doesn’t plan to stop. The platform becomes better every year, unlocks such features as achievements which many players are fond of and of course continues to offer free games every week. Sometimes they give away even major titles like Death Stranding or GTA. Although Epic Games Store is not the best gaming platform for everyday use, but it is definitely worth returning to and playing some new games you get for free weekly.
This platform once was only exclusive to old games, later it grew to sell more new games. There are many sales and packs of game series but the best titles are from CD Projekt Red as they own GOG. So if you are their fan it is more profitable to get their games on GOG as the platform offers better sales and prices for the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077. As for the other games, you will be able to buy popular indie games or extremely popular old games, but new major releases bypass this platform.
There are many other PC gaming platforms, but most of them are made to play the games they release and/or publish. For example, Battle.net is for Activision and Blizzard games, Origin is for EA games, UPlay is for Ubisoft games, Bethesda Launcher is for their games and so on and so forth. There is also one interesting platform called Itch.io where you can see lots of indie games and support them directly.
