Why does this require an EGS account?

[kuhpunkt]

I don't get it.

Hopefully just for crossplay with those on Epic.

Hopefully, HOPEFULLY that doesn’t effect Steam players.

It probably uses Epic Online Services, which doesn't need an Epic account to use for crossplay.

Well, the store site say that it requires an account. It's such a pest.

I still thank it’s for the crossplay with Epic. I have the Xbox version as well and am able to play online with other Xbox users no problem.

I imagine it’ll be the same way with Steam.

I just bought this, it's for crossplay.

As expected.

Is just for crossplay... not interested.

Is this thing any good?

It is one of the better asymmetrical pvp games imo, honestly a refreshing take on the genre.

Unlike other asymmetrical pvp games that copy dead by daylight formula of 1 killer vs 4 survivors, this is more like 4 killers (the ghostbusters) vs 1 survivor (the ghost), although no one actually dies in this game, ghostbusters can get slimed and the ghost can eventually get trapped.

Instead of you as the ghost trying to escape, the ghostbusters have to trap you 3 times before you can haunt the level. If you haunt the level to 100% you can win the game.

Thanks, i'll check this one up.

Just an FYI, there are some twitch drop ghost skins running until Nov 1st.

Can you turn off crossplay and avoid having to set up an account on the EGS?

[Doomguy]

what if you don't have an egs account? IS it required to play multiplayer on steam?

[Seiren]

Epic has a much easier developer solution for crossplay, Valve doesn't. It's simple. If that's an issue, then move on.

I played on MP and didn't have to create an epic account.
