babe wake up, its happening !
@FortniteLinux
FORTNITE IS COMING TO LINUX
• Easy Anti-Cheat's Linux support couldn't protect games as well as the Windows version
• Epic is rebuilding it as EAC Linux v2, with protection much closer to Windows
• Fortnite tests it first, then other devs can use EAC v2 to bring their multiplayer games to Linux
• The new Epic Games Launcher is out now on Linux, and Fortnite will come through it once enough distros support it
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
• TPM 2.0 & Secure Boot enabled in BIOS
• A kernel signed by a trusted distro (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, openSUSE, Bazzite & more)
• Any extra drivers (like NVIDIA's) signed with a trusted key too
• Measured boot (GRUB & systemd-boot do this by default)
• IOMMU enabled (not needed on handhelds)
• Kernel lockdown integrity mode on, kexec off & BPF LSM active

Hopefully i can stop calling it "unreal engine based fortnite launcher and (allegedly) store"
PUBLIC BETA FOR THE EPIC LAUNCHER V2 STARTS IN AUGUST
The launcher will no longer be built on Unreal Engine, and will have greatly increased performance and navigation speed
(Thanks to @ItsZedK for the info)

Doesnt Riot titles and Genshin Impact have their own launchers?
That means Fortnite is still the only thing keeping Epic's launcher alive?
I will trust Tim only if Fortnite appears on Steam and EGL remains alive, we all know thats not possible
Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney says Steam is missing out on millions of PC players because it doesn’t have games like Fortnite, Riot Games titles, or Genshin Impact.
Sweeney said Valve has “a nice thing going on on PC,” but added that Steam is “missing out on a lot of opportunity” by not having those games available on the platform.
Sweeney also said Epic wants to work with Valve in the future, explaining, “We would love to interoperate with every company willing and to connect all the gamers.”

0 players have been able to play the game on Linux! 🐧
0 players have been able to play the game on macOS! 🍎
And millions of PC users are forced to play Fortnite on Windows!!

Google comes pre-baked into every Android device and wants to close the ecosystem for "safety reasons"
Why aren't we focused on that?

if only we had another option on linux
Theres plenty of options out there yet players still decide to use Steam
Is it because Steam is pointing gun at the gamers or because the other options are as useful as the flashlight apps on the Play Store?
Valve's Gabe Newell believes Steam doesn't have a monopoly, saying that gamers have “enormous choice” about where they buy games
“Whether they buy the game on an Xbox, or Steam, or Epic Games Store, or whether they buy it directly from software developers”

And yet he is still trying
Who is genuinely excited to download a launcher inside another launcher?
This is literally another COD launcher
Atleast they should fix EGL first lmao
NEW METAVERSE LOBBY SEEMS TO DROP IN v43.00
It's codenamed "Evo" and Epic Games has been testing it a lot on v43.00, which should either be Chapter 8 or a Mini-Season

Virtual private networks #VPN are increasingly used to bypass online age verification.
Protecting children online is a priority, with new rules being implemented requiring a minimum age for access to some services

ALT EPRS at-a-glance (first page) on 'Virtual private networks and the protection of children online' (January 2026)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the University of Michigan research paper "Multi-perspective study of VPN users and VPN providers," 82.1% used VPNs "to protect myself from various threats/adversaries."
No research shows that VPNs would be increasingly used to bypass online age verification.

This just shows that 7.68% of people who game on PC are blocked from playing Fortnite. For someone who dislikes monopolies, why help out Windows' monopoly on the operating system market?
