The Epic Games Store has rolled out a significant update, introducing a new download manager designed to give PC gamers greater control over their game downloads and updates. This update addresses a long-standing request from the community, bringing the Epic Games Store more in line with the features offered by competing platforms. One of the key features of the new download manager is the ability to schedule updates. Gamers can now set specific times for their games to update, ensuring that downloads don't interfere with their gameplay or other bandwidth-intensive activities. This is particularly useful for users with slower internet connections or those who prefer to game during peak hours. In addition to scheduling, the update also introduces the ability to limit download speeds. This feature allows users to cap the bandwidth used by the Epic Games Store, preventing it from hogging the entire internet connection. This is beneficial for those who want to continue browsing the web, streaming videos, or engaging in other online activities while a game is downloading in the background. The new download manager provides a more streamlined and user-friendly experience. The interface has been redesigned to offer a clearer overview of active downloads, queued updates, and download history. Users can easily prioritize downloads, pause and resume them as needed, and monitor their progress with detailed information about download speeds and estimated completion times. These enhancements represent a significant step forward for the Epic Games Store, addressing key areas where it previously lagged behind other platforms. By giving users more control over their downloads and updates, Epic Games is improving the overall gaming experience and making its store a more attractive option for PC gamers. The update reflects Epic Games' commitment to listening to community feedback and continuously improving its platform.
