Heroic Games Launcher als Linux-Alternative zu Xbox App

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Heroic Games Launcher is a solid replacement for the Xbox App's library management and launch functions, but only if you own your games on Epic or GOG. It handles Proton integration well, letting you run Windows titles on Linux. However, it does not support the Microsoft Store or Xbox Live services. If your library is tied to Xbox Game Pass or exclusive Microsoft titles, this tool will not work. For users with Epic or GOG libraries who want a clean, open-source launcher on Linux, it is a strong option.

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Manages game libraries from multiple digital stores
  • Downloads, installs, and updates game files
  • Launches games with custom configurations
  • Supports multiple user profiles

Was anders ist

  • No support for Microsoft Store or Xbox Live accounts
  • Lacks native cloud gaming access (Xbox Cloud Gaming)
  • Does not sync achievements or profile data with Xbox servers
  • Focuses on Epic, GOG, and Steam rather than Xbox-specific ecosystem

Ihre Xbox App-Dateien öffnen

Heroic Games Launcher does not directly open or export files created by the Xbox App, as they use different directory structures and metadata formats. You cannot simply copy an Xbox installation folder and have Heroic recognize it. However, if you have Steam or Epic games installed via their respective native clients, Heroic can often detect existing installations if the paths are correctly configured. For pure Xbox App installs, you would need to re-download the games through supported stores.
