Epic Games continues its work to officially bring its digital game store to the Linux platform.
AI-generated summary
Linux users currently use third-party tools like Heroic Games Launcher and Wine/Proton compatibility layers to access the Epic Games library.
Epic Games Store is getting ready to gain Linux support. Epic Games' digital game store will soon officially work on Linux. However, the company has not yet given a clear date for this support.
Linux users have been waiting for an official client for a long time. Therefore, the news was an important step, especially for gamers using Linux on the desktop.
Which Distributions Are Targeted by Epic Games Store Linux?
According to the new statement, Epic wants to support as many distributions as possible. The list also includes Fedora, SteamOS, Cachy and Omarchy. Therefore, support will not depend on just one system.
Due to the problems in Windows 11, the number of players switching to Linux has also increased. Therefore, official support news is an important development for these users. Moreover, SteamOS's presence on the list also concerns Steam Deck owners.
How Are Games Currently Accessed?
Linux and Steam Deck users today access Epic libraries through third-party tools. For example, Heroic Games Launcher is one of these software. These tools download Windows versions of games from Epic.
Then the games work with compatibility layers like Wine and Proton. The compatibility layer means middleware that enables programs written for Windows to run on Linux. However, this method may cause performance losses. Additionally, compatibility problems may occur in some games.
That's why the installation process is not always easy for gamers. It is not guaranteed that every game will work the same way. Third-party tools work, but they're not a full replacement for an official solution.
Why is Official Support Important?
The need for these additional layers may decrease once an official client arrives. Therefore, users welcome the development positively. However, the scope of support and which games will work are unclear for now.
Additionally, targeting more than one distribution shows that the diversity in the Linux ecosystem is taken into account. Fedora, SteamOS, Cachy and Omarchy appeal to different user bases. Thus, the door is opened for all players with different preferences.
