I personally like EGS's UI and especially the Overlay, but it could use so many improvements. So i have a few suggestions
Firstly and most importantly, Epic, please, if it's possible, enable the overlay across all EGS Games, especially if what this blog post says is true, because part of a seamless Social Experience is being able to interact with it in-game (Even Battle.Net does it with chat integrated in the games even though there's only a checkout overlay (I think I only used it to play Overwatch 2)). Also, At least games with EOS SDK versions prior to 1.15 should be able to show all of your games instead of only the ones who played it.
pre 1.15
post 1.15 (1.16)
Also the Checkout Overlay could use a slight redesign.
This is how it looks:
And this is my proposed redesign
which is mostly the same, but more compact, and won't flash-bang you. And also could be used on the Store.
Also i made a couple of concepts of how Chat could look if integrated with the Overlay
A in-Game Notification of an incomming Message
And how the chat could look like in the overlay
