Heroic Games Launcher v2.22.1 Adds Proton-CachyOS, Controller Store Navigation
Heroic Games Launcher recently issued version 2.22.1, a hotfix update that introduces several new features and improvements. Users can now install Proton-CachyOS directly through the launcher and navigate the Epic Games Store and GOG store interfaces using a controller. The update also includes new discount tabs for affiliate partners Humble Bundle and Green Man Gaming. Additionally, Heroic has migrated its Plausible Analytics to a self-hosted instance, stating the move is "to maintain 100% control of our data." This v2.22.1 release also resolves a bug where the "Add Game" dialog would reset the Wineprefix. Developers noted that this hotfix precedes larger upcoming features, which are currently in testing. These future additions include deeper integrations for itch.io, Humble Bundle, and Steam, alongside a new plugin system designed to simplify future integrations like emulator support.
