Free platform for players and developers

The Epic Games Launcher is a free client for launching and developing games available for Windows and Mac. This tool lets you access a variety of games. It also helps developers since they get 88% of the proceeds from every sale. In this way, developers have more funds to build better products. Other similar game launchers include Steam, Battle.net, and Bethesda Launcher.

Download the latest version from a reliable source. Once the download has completed, double-click the file to start the installation. Follow the prompts and wait for the process to finish. 

Download, install and first use

Once the application opens, create an account choosing from various options, like signing in with Epic Games, Facebook, Google, Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, Nintendo, Steam or Apple. 

Once signed in, use the toolbar on the left to navigate. You can access the homepage, browse the store and find your products in the library. Connect with your friends and take part in the latest Unreal tournament. Or find your downloads and customise the application by navigating to your settings.

Best features

The launcher features the ability to create friend lists or access text and audio chat within and outside the platform. You can even buy products that aren’t part of the Epic Games Store. 

This lightweight application is fast and streamlined for Windows computers. Epic Launcher is completely free and enables you to buy games from one platform once installed. Occasionally, there are opportunities to download free trials or games for a limited time. The platform supports many languages and currency options.

Troubleshooting

If you have trouble downloading and installing the launcher, you may need to disable malware and virus programs. Please note that you should only do this if you completely trust the application you want to install. Ensure you run the installer as administrator and that you have to write access to the selected installation folder. You should also check that your Windows is up-to-date and you have the current graphic drivers. 

Great app for players and developers

The launcher benefits players by giving them access to a variety of entertaining games. Epic Games pays developers an above-average portion of the sales, thereby providing them with the financial means to develop more and better games. Its straightforward user interface makes it simple for you to find and buy games from multiple categories.
