| It was a planned update since long before. Just a coincidence in timelines. |

| They might've pushed it from beta to stable reactively, but an improvement to startup times was in their beta channel last month: https://store.steampowered.com/news/group/4397053?emclan=103... |

| Good to know. I would have hated if Valve was capable of such optimization in 24h all this time but didn't if it wasn't to answer Epic. |

| They released it like a day or two after Epic right? That is quite a coincidence ... |

So I wonder if it's the other way round, Epic rushed out the boast because they knew the window that it would be even remotely correct to most users was closing. | |
