About

Rare is a frontend for legendary-gl, an open source alternative for the Epic Games Launcher.

Why Rare?

  • Tries to be as lightweight as we can make it while still offering a feature-full experience
  • Supports all major platforms (Windows, Linux, Mac)
  • Gets out of your way when you don't need it, allowing you to enjoy your games

Rare supports all core features from the Epic Games Launcher, like installing and launching games, also many options to launch games with compatibility tools.
