BottlesLinux vs Epic Games LauncherWindows

Bottles, alternative Linux à Epic Games Launcher

Mis à jour le 20 octobre 2026

Notre avis

Bottles is a functional but indirect replacement for Epic Games Launcher. It does not provide a native client; instead, it runs the Windows version of the launcher inside a managed Wine or Proton environment. This works well for users comfortable with Linux gaming tools who need access to the Epic Store library. However, it lacks native integration, meaning cloud saves and account sync rely entirely on the Windows app running correctly. It is suitable for advanced users willing to troubleshoot, but not for those expecting a seamless, native Linux experience.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Epic Games Launcher

Bottles does not directly open or export Epic Games Launcher configuration files or library databases. Since it runs the Windows version of the launcher, all game data, saves, and configuration files are stored within the Windows-style directory structure inside the bottle. You cannot import a native Linux game library or export one to the Windows format directly; you must manage files through the Windows file system view provided by the bottle environment.

Questions fréquentes

Does Bottles support cloud saves natively?

No. Cloud saves depend on the Epic Games Launcher running correctly inside the bottle. If the Windows app syncs saves, they will sync, but there is no native Linux integration for this feature.

Can I use Proton with Bottles?

Yes. Bottles allows you to switch between different runners, including Proton versions, which can improve compatibility for specific games compared to standard Wine.

Is Bottles free to use?

Yes. Bottles is open-source software licensed under GPL-3.0-only and is available for free on Flathub and major Linux distributions.
