Epic Games announced a preview of a revamped Epic Games Launcher. The company says AI was used to generate and review most of the code, making the launcher "way faster" and adding a Linux version. The new launcher is available now on Windows, macOS and Linux, while the old version will stay online until the update is stable. Epic also plans to bring Fortnite to Linux through the same app.
Linux gamers can now access Epic’s store and Fortnite without needing a Windows PC.
