Epic committed $444 million to securing exclusive games in 2020, meaning they'll almost certainly be spending even more on this year's deals.

"Epic committed $444 million in minimum guarantees for 2020 alone," Apple say.

Those minimum guarantees would have been advance payments made to publishers and developers, the amount Epic committed to paying regardless of whether or not the games being paid for actually wound up recouping the same amount in sales.

Epic reportedly paid $10.45 million for Control to launch as an Epic Games Store exclusive on PC, for instance.

As Epic said earlier this year, "We have more exclusives coming in the next two years than we have published to date." That means their $444 million spent on minimum guarantees is likely to go up this year
