Great news is brewing for Linux gamers! Epic Games has officially confirmed that a native Linux version of its storefront is in the works. This announcement, made during an Ask Me Anything session on their Discord server, signals a potentially significant shift, aiming to eliminate the need for third-party launchers like Steam Deck's often-used workarounds.
This development is part of a broader trend improving the Linux gaming landscape. NVIDIA's GeForce Now cloud gaming app has officially launched for Linux, emerging from beta, and even OpenAI has released a ChatGPT desktop app for the platform. These advancements collectively suggest a much more welcoming and streamlined experience for those who prefer gaming on Linux distributions, including SteamOS. Previously, accessing games from the Epic Games Store on Linux involved a less-than-ideal process of using unofficial tools, which could be fiddly and unreliable.
While the arrival of the Epic Games Store launcher is a major win, the status of Epic's own flagship game, Fortnite, on Linux remains a point of contention. Epic has previously blocked Fortnite from running on Linux due to concerns over cheating, a decision that has remained controversial. Although the porting of the storefront might suggest a changing attitude, many gamers remain skeptical about the possibility of Fortnite eventually becoming playable on Linux. As one Reddit user put it, "I wouldn't hold my breath." Despite this, the native launcher is a substantial step forward for the platform's gaming ecosystem.
