World War Z Price Lowered on Epic Games Store

World War Z along with The Division 2 won't be launching on Steam and instead will be exclusives to the Epic Games Store. Saber Interactive has decided to pass on the savings onto the gamer by lowering the price of the game before it launches because of Epic's 88% split as opposed to Steam's 70%.

CEO of Saber Interactive made an official statement on Twitter confirming the decision:

We choose the Epic Games store because we believe it's the best deal for players and developers.

First of all, building games is costly, and so to receive 88% instead of 70% means we can invest more into making World War Z

Second, we're passing along much of the savings to you as gamers. The price of World War Z on Epic Games store is being dropped to $34.99 starting now and continuing our April 16th launch and beyond. Any players who have already pre-purchased the game for $39.99 will get the $5 refunded back to them. We are thrilled to be able to share the developer-friendly benefits of the Epic Games store with you all, can't wait for you to play our game.

Thank you,

Matthew Karch
CEO of Saber Interactive

World War Z launches on April 16th for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
