In this video I cover how to install and play Epic Games Store games on Linux using Lutris.
Step 1. Install Latest GPU Driver.
The first step is to ensure that you have installed the latest supported driver for your graphic card.
My recommendation would be to follow the relevant section on the InstallingDrivers page of the Lutris wiki, as this will cover the installation process for both Nvidia and AMD hardware on Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora based distributions.
Step 2. Install Wine.
The second step is to ensure that the Wine compatibility layer is installed on your system, as this is a dependency for running Lutris.
My recommendation would be to follow the relevant section on WineDependencies page of the Lutris wiki as this covers the installation process for Ubuntu, Arch and Fedora based distributions.
Step 3. Install Lutris.
Once you have installed the latest supported GPU driver and Wine, Lutris can now be installed.
The installation process may vary depending on your setup, but in most cases, you will be installing Lutris using your Linux distribution’s package manager.
My recommendation would be to follow the recommended method on the Lutris download page, and once installation has finished, launch Lutris from your application launcher.
However, if you get a message about missing DXVK or Wine, then double check that you have correctly installed a compatible GPU driver and Wine using the above wiki pages.
Step 4. Install Epic Game Store.
To install the Epic Games Store with Lutris, click on the + symbol at the top left, choose the “Search the Lutris website for installers” option, and then search for “Epic Games Store.”
This should only bring up one option to select, and from here, it is a matter of following the installation process, and if you get prompt to install Wine mono, click yes.
In either case, once installation has finished, click the close button.
At this stage, the Epic Games Store client is now installed, so double click on the icon to launch the application, and sign into your account.
After you sign in, on first launch, you will be prompted to install the Epic Games Online service, which I recommend you do since many games require this.
At this point you are all set up, so feel free to download and play your games as normal, with the exception of most games that use either EAC or BattlEye anti-supported as they are not supported on Linux.
