[https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ Heroic Games Launcher] is an open-source launcher for GOG, Epic Games Store, and Amazon Prime Games, for Linux, Windows, and macOS. On NixOS, it fills a similar role to [[Lutris]] for running native and Windows games, and is also wrapped in a [[FHS environment]].

== Platform Support ==
Heroic in nixpkgs is only supported on <code>x86_64-linux</code>. Upstream does not support 32-bit Linux. If you are on macOS, you should use the official builds from upstream, unless you are willing to take on maintaining the Heroic package in nixpkgs for [[Nix-darwin|nix-darwn]]. If you are using just Nix on any non-NixOS Linux distribution, you should use the official builds from upstream.

== Optional Dependencies ==
Heroic has some optional dependencies, such as [https://github.com/ValveSoftware/gamescope Gamescope] and [[GameMode|GameMode,]] that are not included in the FHS environment wrapper. If you want to use any of these, you need to override the Heroic package to pass extra packages.<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
(heroic.override {
extraPkgs = pkgs: [
pkgs.gamescope
];
})
</syntaxhighlight>For Gamescope and GameMode, you also need to enable these in your NixOS configuration.<syntaxhighlight lang="nixos">
programs.gamescope.enable = true;
programs.gamemode.enable = true;

</syntaxhighlight>See [[GameMode]] for additional setup information.
