A Rosier Future for Linux Gamers? Epic Games Announces Linux Version of Its Storefront

“Epic Games has confirmed that it is working on a Linux version of its storefront, potentially removing the need for third-party launchers on platforms such as Steam Deck,” reports PC Guide: The confirmation came during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on the Epic Games Store’s community Discord server. When a user asked whether Epic had any plans for a Linux version of its launcher, an Epic staff member confirmed that it is coming “soon(TM)” in emoji form. Of course, that is far from confirming any kind of date, but it is official confirmation of a Linux version nonetheless.
