About:
Heroic Games Launcher is an open-source game launcher that provides a native interface for managing and playing games from GOG and Epic Games Store on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It simplifies the process of installing, updating, and launching games from these platforms by handling compatibility layers like Wine and Proton automatically. Its main value proposition is offering a unified, privacy-focused, and cross-platform experience without the bloat of official clients.
Key Features:
  • Native support for GOG and Epic Games Store libraries
  • Built-in Wine and Proton manager for seamless game compatibility
  • Support for Linux, macOS, and Windows
  • Custom Wine/Proton versions per game
  • Cloud saves synchronization
Use Cases:
  • Playing Windows games on Linux without manual configuration
  • Managing a game library from multiple storefronts in one place
  • Using GOG on macOS where no official client exists
Alternatives:
  • Lutris – Lutris is more powerful and script-based for advanced users, while Heroic offers a more polished and user-friendly interface specifically for GOG and Epic.
  • Steam – Steam is a primary store and launcher, whereas Heroic focuses on aggregating games from other stores.
