Decentraland added the Epic Games Store to its distribution footprint on April 2, giving the virtual world access to Epic’s install base for the first time.
Players who download and enter through the Epic build can claim a free wearable, the Epic Arrival Shield, from a dispenser located at coordinates 0,0 in Genesis Plaza. The item is exclusive to the Epic build entry point.
The community marked the launch with a party at the Decentraland Theatre starting at 7 PM UTC on April 2, with an unofficial dress code of all-blue outfits.
Decentraland continues to position itself as a persistent social space rather than a traditional game, running weekly events including movie screenings, live music, trivia nights, and community meetups alongside mini games and parkour challenges. The platform is free to explore and community-governed.
