Heroic, alternative Linux à GOG Galaxy
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Heroic is a strong replacement for GOG Galaxy if you primarily play Epic, GOG, and Amazon games on Linux. It handles unified libraries, imports, and cloud saves well. However, it lacks the social layer Galaxy provides, such as friends lists and chat. If you rely heavily on cross-store social features or non-supported stores, you will feel the gap. For most Linux gamers focused on launching and managing these specific stores, Heroic covers the core needs effectively without the bloat of a full social client.

Ouvrir vos fichiers GOG Galaxy
Heroic does not directly open or read GOG Galaxy's internal database files. Instead, it uses its own backend to import existing game installations by scanning your file system for known Epic or GOG directories. You cannot export a GOG Galaxy library file to Heroic; the migration process is manual and relies on the import feature to detect already installed games on your disk.

Does Heroic support Steam games?
No, Heroic focuses on Epic, GOG, and Amazon. For Steam, use the native Steam client or Lutris.
Can I use Heroic on Steam Deck?
Yes, but note that the stable Flatpak uses an older runtime due to controller issues in Gaming Mode. The beta branch offers newer runtime features.

Heroic does not have a built-in gameplay overlay. You may need to rely on Steam Overlay if running via Proton or other system-wide solutions.
