With the Epic Games Store now firmly established as a contender to Valve's tried-and-true Steam, it's clear that market bifurcation is the state of gaming on PC in this day and age. Thankfully, the issue isn't that big if you think about it. With this Steam vs Epic Spring Sale summary, we aim to prove as much!
Most gamers aren't that invested in any single gaming client. Installing Epic is minimum hassle, in the end, and playing video games is what really matters in the end. Some users, however, might not wish to do so. Here at 2Game, we fully understand the sort of dedication this implies. To that end, we thought it might be a good idea to go over some of the best deals for both Steam and the Epic Store available as part of our Spring Sale celebrations.
There's a bunch of stuff to go through, so we'll keep it neat, simple, and streamlined for your viewing pleasure. So, if you just don't feel like dealing with either Steam or the Epic Store, and want to keep your whole game library on one client, just check out the appropriate section featured below and choose your next game. Easy!
Spring Sale Summary: Choose Your Marketplace
First things first, it's worth pointing out that market exclusives aren't nearly as prevalent in 2022 as they were in the years past. At first, Epic pushed for exclusivity almost across the board, but this doesn't seem to happen all that often anymore. On top of that, even timed exclusivity deals (6 months or such) are easy enough to deal with.
So, down below, we're summarizing specific discounts we've got in store here at 2Game. They differ in some cases, and depending on your preferred marketplace, you could get a way better deal than you thought you could! So, choose whichever you like most and go ham.
Note, too, that we've got more discounts coming in over the course of April. To that end, this selection may well end up changing over time, so be sure to check back in every so often!
Spring Sale Steam 2022 - Top Deals
Steam! It's an old favorite of veteran PC gamers, though the younger generation might not be quite so tied up with it. Fortnite is, after all, an Epic Store exclusive.

We'll rotate these over the course of April, too, so check back in every so often!

Closing Thoughts
Now that we've gone over all the really substantive bits, it's time to talk shop. If you'd like to truly streamline your gaming on PC, and if you want to minimize the hassle in switching between Steam and Epic, we've got just the ticket for you. Its name is - Playnite!
Playnite is, much like GOG Galaxy 2.0, a way for PC gamers to keep track of their game libraries across clients and marketplaces. With support for Steam, Epic Store, Ubisoft Connect, Origin, and just about every other gaming client in existence, these apps do all the hard work for you.
All you need to do is connect your different marketplace accounts with the central gaming app of your choice, and you're set. Downloads, updates, library management - both Playnite and Galaxy will do these things for you. Hell, they can even shut down some marketplaces after you're done playing their games. Neat stuff, right?
So, if you're sick and tired of the disparate marketplace trend on PC, pick one of these applications and enjoy your full game library! Perfect if you're snagging deals in our Spring Game Sale!
