The Linux gaming community has grown rapidly over the past few years, thanks to open-source game development and compatibility layers. With all these games, Epic games are also making headlines in the Linux community. It’s now easier than ever to run Epic games on Linux.

Yes, you can play Epic Games titles on Linux, but it requires a workaround since the Epic Games Store doesn’t officially support Linux. Instead of the official Epic Games launcher, you can use alternative tools like the Heroic Games Launcher to access Epic Games on Linux. Another option is Lutris, a game management platform for Linux, which uses programs like Wine that allow you to run Windows games on a Linux system (including the Epic Games launcher).

Steam Games does a pretty good job of running many Windows games quite seamlessly using the one-click compatibility software, but it is great to also have all these alternatives as well. I started using Steam Games mainly when I was still dual booting between Windows and Linux, and did not want to pay twice for the same game (I imagine cloud logins makes this mostly redundant nowadays).
