Overview
Epic Games Launcher for Mac is a digital storefront and a game library manager developed and maintained by Epic Games Corporation, creators of the famous Unreal Tournament, Gears of War, and Fortnite game franchises. Built from the ground up to mimic the features found in Valve’s Steam client, the most popular macOS online game store available today, Epic Games Launcher for macOS strives to become the viable alternative for promotion and distribution of not only games produced by Epic themselves but also a wide variety of 3rd party publishers and indie developers of all sizes. This eye-catching and streamlined client can help gamers of all tastes to easily build, organize and access games that are purchased via this platform.
As a new and developing storefront for Mac games, It has started a rapid adoption of much-requested features needed to enable modern gamers to take full advantage of their software. This includes built-in support for creating friend lists, accessing text and audio chat both outside and inside the games, and even adding games that are not part of the Epic Game’s still developing catalog.
To install Epic Games Launcher for Mac, simply download and launch an installation app and follow a few simple on-screen instructions. After creating a new user account, users can access an online digital storefront where games can be purchased with a few simple clicks of a mouse. In addition to premium titles, here you can also find access to a large offering of Free Play titles, including the highly popular online shooter Fortnite Battle Royale. The game library manager enables users fast access to all their purchased games, which will always remain in contact with central servers and receive automatic game updates whenever they become available.
The user interface of this game launcher is lightweight, fast, and optimized for use on Macs with older or weaker hardware. The launcher will not put a strain on your desktop Mac or MacBook even when the games or their updates are being downloaded or installed.
As of early 2020, it still lacks the complete feature set and game availability found in the competing Steam client from Valve. However, the explosive growth and regular updates this app received with each passing month have to change the marketplace of game distribution on the macOS platform, starting a new age of competition between storefronts which have inevitably lead to better game prices, the appearance of advanced secondary game services and easier access to games of all sizes, prices, and genres. Epic Games Launcher is 100% FREE and is optimized for all modern versions of macOS.
