    Epic Claims Its 'Vibe Coded' New Store Launcher Is Faster Than Steam

    Epic says its new Epic Games Launcher preview was vibe coded with AI

    Epic Games released a preview of its new Epic Games Launcher and said it was vibe coded with AI because building it the traditional way is too hard. Epic says the launcher has an average cold start of 5.47 seconds, 46% faster than Steam, with snappier navigation and less background load, though the first release is light on features. Epic detailed launcher changes at Unreal Fest in June and claimed version 2 would have a cold start five times faster on average, without mentioning AI at the time.

    Epic Games releases preview of new "vibe coded" Epic Games Launcher, claims it's faster than Steam

    Epic Games has released a preview version of a new Epic Games Launcher that it says was "vibe coded" and is faster and more responsive than the current one, with a new look. The launcher is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and Epic says it has faster load times and puts less load on your system while running in the background. Epic Games Store general manager Martin Keely said it was rebuilt entirely from the ground up with a completely new tech stack.

    Epic launches a new Epic Games Launcher built with AI assistance

    Epic has revealed a new version of the Epic Games Launcher that it says was built with generative AI assistance, making it faster and more responsive than the current one with a new look. Epic Games Store VP and GM Martin Keely told IGN that AI was used as a tool in the development process, letting a small team rewrite the code base and ship faster across platforms, supporting Windows and Mac with a Linux version to follow. He said the AI use focused on code efficiency and architecture rather than artwork or design style, which remained with Epic's design group.

    Epic launches a new Epic Games Store launcher preview, claiming it starts 46% faster than Steam

    Epic Games Store's rebuilt client is available as a preview download for Windows, macOS, and for the first time Linux. Epic says it halved launcher startup time and reaches the store page 46% faster than Steam, with the technical improvements verified by an external vendor; PC Gamer has not tested it yet. The redesign includes a new library view that can import shortcuts to games installed via Steam and other clients, and Epic describes the client as vibe coded, with store GM Martin Keely confirming AI was used to write new code on a completely new architecture.

    Epic Games Launcher preview arrives with library loading 30x faster

    Epic released a preview version of a rebuilt Epic Games Launcher, built with AI and vibe coding and still light on features. Epic says it cold-boots in 5.47 seconds, 46% faster than Steam, reopens from the system tray in 0.36 seconds, loads the library 30 times faster than the previous launcher, and takes up 300MB. The new version supports Windows, MacOS and, for the first time, Linux, with Fortnite coming to Linux once Easy Anti-Cheat is rebuilt for the platform.
