Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Steam: When does Epic Games Store exclusive end?

For now, the PC version of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is only available on the Epic Games Store launcher, with Valve's Steam platform not yet playing host to the game.

As more and more platforms pop up in the gaming world, it is becoming increasingly common for games to launch in a select few places before spreading out onto all the others.

So, what's the situation with Tiny Tina's Wonderlands on Steam? Keep on reading to find out everything we know at this stage.

Why isn't Tiny Tina's Wonderlands on Steam yet?

The Frequently Asked Questions page on the Tiny Tina's Wonderlands website explains why the game is not on Steam yet.

The FAQ makes it clear that the initial computer-based release for the game was deliberately planned to be "via the Epic Games Store exclusively at launch".

Basically, the developers from Gearbox and the publishers from 2K have made a deal with Epic Games to host the day-one PC version of the game on the Epic Games Store, instead of offering it on any other PC launchers such as Steam.

This is known in the gaming world as a 'timed exclusive'. So if you want to play Tiny Tina's Wonderlands on PC at launch, the only place you can do so will be the Epic Games Store.

If you're looking for a deal, CD Keys will sell you the Epic Games Store version of Tiny Tina's Wonderlands for £40.99. That's eight per cent off the RRP, if you were wondering.

If you're a console person, the game is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

When will Tiny Tina's Wonderlands come to Steam?

The Steam page for Tiny Tina's Wonderlands simply says that the game is "coming soon", but another clue can be found on the game's official website.

That same FAQ page states that Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands will be available "on other PC digital storefronts later in 2022".

With that in mind, you should expect to see Tiny Tina's Wonderlands on Steam before the end of this year.

The Tiny Tina's Wonderlands Steam release date will be no later than 31st December 2022, then, judging by the wording from that FAQ. We'll let you know when an exact date is confirmed.
