What is it?

Heroic is a game launcher for Linux, Windows and macOS that lets you log in to Epic Games, GOG and Amazon Games accounts and install, update, repair, move and launch titles from a single interface. Epic games are handled through Legendary, GOG through a custom implementation called gogdl, and Amazon Games through Nile.

On Linux it can run Windows games through Wine or Proton, download custom Wine and Proton builds, and show ProtonDB and Steam Deck compatibility information. On macOS it supports launching games with Crossover. Other features include cloud save sync, a download queue, custom theming, and the ability to add games and applications from outside these stores and sort them into categories.

The app is built with TypeScript, React, Electron and Vite, and is distributed as Flatpak, AppImage, .deb, .rpm, AUR, WinGet, Homebrew and DMG packages.
