Also works for prime games. And if you are on Linux especially GOG as well.
Comment on How does patientgamers feel about free games on Epic?

I have never installed Epic Games Launcher and still claim and play their games for free. It’s pretty easy:
- claim games on epicgames.com (I use my phone)
- install Heroic and login to your epic games account
- play your claimed games
I play on my Steam Deck and on my Linux desktop, and EGS isn’t supported on either. Seems to work fine.

Hell yeah! I did not know this was an option. Thanks for the tip!

I’m still on Windows for now, so I use a PortableApps installation to claim the games instead of a phone. I do the same for my wife and kid too. Neither of them has the Epic installer 🤷🏻♂️😁

You can claim directly from Heroic btw, just go to “Stores”

I usually claim Thursday mornings at work so I don’t forget, and it takes like 30s. But it’s pretty cool that it works in Heroic as well.
