  I mostly game on my Steam Deck and assumed Heroic was only a Linux thing, but recently learned it’s available on Windows too. How’s it do? I’ve been collecting the free games from Epic and Prime Gaming, but barely touch them. Being able to open a single launcher for everything non Steam in Windows sounds amazing!

    haven’t tried the other platforms in heroic other than epic, it works 100% except for adding friends. You can add them via the overlay but it’s incredibly janky. Then again, it’s about as janky as it is on the actual launcher. But other than adding friends works great.

    I just learned about heroic since getting my steam deck. I’ll be switching over on my pc too since the Epic launcher has such a horrible ui.

      I installed it today on my computer and then set up Sunshine so I could stream from it to my Steam Deck easily.

  I personally find the app experience better than that of steam when it comes to browsing for new things. Do elaborate

    for me the entire launcher is slow and a massive resource hog. The entire GUI has the same issue I had with windows 8 with everything feeling way too big and a whole lot of form over function.
