Depends on the game developers, if they offer/upload a Linux/Mac version. On Linux, you have to either indtall/update your games manually, or use a third-party client. Idk about Mac.
Comment on I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store
normalexit@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI haven’t tried GOG but their business model seems awesome. Do their games work on Linux / Mac?

You don’t need to update them manually if you installed them using Heroic. You only need to update them manually if they were manually installed using a offline installer.

Which is what I said: “On Linux, you have to either install/update your games manually, or use a third-party client.” With third-party client I meant a client like Heroic.

If a game works on Windows, there’s a 95% chance it works as good or better on Linux. The same can be said for MacOS apps, and Android apps, as there are packages to run those on Linux as well.

Lutris is a game launcher for Linux that can install games from your GOG, Epic, and Steam accounts. I believe it even supports Proton which is a compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux (which is a Valve project that is based on Wine).

Nice! I’ll give it a spin
