What it is

Epic Games Launcher is a free app for installing and launching games from an Epic Games Store Library. Epic offers a new free game every Thursday on mobile and PC. The store is available globally on PC and Mac and worldwide on Android; iPhone and iPad availability is limited to specified supported regions. Desktop requirements include Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11, macOS 13.5 or higher, an Intel Core i3 or AMD FX processor, 4GB memory, compatible DirectX 9 graphics and 3GB storage. Many games support Cloud Saves, which store save files online for use across devices. Supported games can also carry progression between devices and platforms when users sign in. Offline Mode works with eligible installed single-player games, but online multiplayer, cloud saves, achievements and other online services may be unavailable offline. The launcher supports controllers, automatic updates and parental controls. Epic accounts support authenticator-app, SMS and email two-factor authentication, and can have up to 1,000 friends. The free plan is listed as free, with optional in-app purchases and weekly free games or content.
