The new version of the platform promises to be five times faster and will undergo testing before its official release.
Epic Games is developing a complete overhaul of its launcher app, aiming to resolve the chronic sluggishness reported by users over the years. The project, dubbed Launcher V2, seeks to modernize the software's technical foundation to deliver a smoother and more responsive user experience.
According to the company, the new architecture will result in performance five times superior to the current version. This optimization represents a direct effort to fix system bottlenecks and streamline both navigation through the store's catalog and the process of downloading and updating games.
The new software will not be released immediately to the general public. Epic plans to take a gradual approach, beginning validation of the new structure through a private testing phase restricted to a selected group of users.
Following the conclusion of the closed beta period and the adjustment of any identified bugs, Launcher V2 will be released to the general public. The company has not yet released an official timeline with precise dates for the start of testing or for the public launch of the update.
