ProtonPlusLinux vs Epic Games LauncherWindows

ProtonPlus als Linux-Alternative zu Epic Games Launcher

Aktualisiert am 25. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

ProtonPlus is not a direct replacement for the Epic Games Launcher. It is a tool that manages compatibility layers for Linux game launchers, but it does not provide a storefront, account login, or native Epic Games Store integration. It can help you run Epic games that you already have on a Linux launcher that supports Proton, but you still need the Epic Games Store client or a third‑party launcher that can download the games. ProtonPlus is useful for users who want fine‑grained control over Proton/Wine versions and want to automate updates, but not for people looking for a single, all‑in‑one Epic Games Store experience.

Was anders ist

ProtonPlus has no Epic Games Store storefront or account login

Ihre Epic Games Launcher-Dateien öffnen

ProtonPlus does not read or write Epic Games Launcher configuration files. It cannot import an Epic Games library or export settings from the Epic Launcher. Users would need to use the Epic Games Store client on Windows or a compatible Linux launcher that supports Epic games to transfer data.

Von Epic Games Launcher zu ProtonPlus wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

1. Install the Epic Games Store client on Windows or a Linux launcher that supports Epic games (e.g., Heroic).
2. Download and install the desired Epic games through that client.
3. Open ProtonPlus and add the game’s executable to a launcher that ProtonPlus manages (e.g., Lutris).
4. Configure the desired Proton/Wine version and launch options in ProtonPlus.
5. Use ProtonPlus to keep the compatibility tools up to date.
6. Launch the game from the chosen launcher; ProtonPlus will handle the backend.
