Epic Games has rolled out a redesigned store launcher featuring Linux support and integration for Steam-installed titles.
The company described the development process as "vibe coded" rather than traditional programming.
This release aligns with the company's stated strategic pivot toward artificial intelligence.
New features
The app now allows users to view and open games they already have installed on their computer via Steam. Additionally, for the first time, the app is also available for Linux systems.
The company's stance
The announcement of the new program was accompanied by an unusual description from Epic, which said its creation was based on what it called "vibe coded" rather than traditional programming methods.
The statement came just a day after CEO Tim Sweeney said Epic is now turning to artificial intelligence for its future needs. The announcement sparked debate, as it comes at a time when the company has been making significant changes to its workforce. In March 2026, Epic laid off 1.000 employees, while overall the company has reduced its staff by 25% compared to 2023 levels.
