When Fortnite players are able to chat with their friends while playing, we see a huge uptick in player engagement. What if you could supercharge community engagement like this for your own game?Now you can, with the launch of a new free cross-platform voice communication service from Epic Online Services. Voice is a platform-independent solution that connects your community with in-game voice chat across all stores and platforms.
On top of that, Epic Online Services is offering the industry-leading anti-cheat solution to all developers for free. Easy Anti-Cheat is a powerful feature necessary for the smooth running of any online game with players on PC. These services empower developers to launch, operate, and scale great games like never before.
Operating voice communications and anti-cheat in a popular online game can cost millions of dollars. By offering these online services to everyone for free, we aim to empower more developers to build cross-platform games, serve their own player communities, and grow the industry.
Now, let’s dive in and get a closer look!
