Epic releases preview of AI-assisted cross-platform game launcher
What happened
On October 14, Epic Games released a preview of its new game launcher, saying it was built with AI-assisted programming for faster speed and response, and adding Linux support. Reports say agents wrote and reviewed all the code, with the development team managing the process and supervising throughout, though they did not stop writing code by hand. The preview is available to Windows, Mac and Linux users from that day, and the old launcher still works. Epic also plans to bring Fortnite to Linux through the app, but no timeline for a full rollout has been announced.
