Heroic fullscreen update

Heroic Games Launcher 2.21.0 adds a proper fullscreen interface built for controller users on Linux handhelds, released April 22, 2026. (linuxcompatible.org) The 2.21.0 changelog also fixes the How Long To Beat integration, adds GOG in‑app achievement tracking and a built‑in Deals page, and introduces native Windows ARM64 support. (linuxcompatible.org) Heroic’s community post describes the new UI as a “console‑like fullscreen mode built for joystick/TV navigation,” explicitly aimed at joystick and TV-style control. (youtube.com) Linux‑focused sites say the update stops forcing users through mouse‑driven menus and improves navigation for controller‑only setups on devices such as the Steam Deck. (steamdeckhq.com) Heroic is an open‑source launcher that supports Epic Games, GOG, and Amazon stores and relies on Wine and Electron to run many Windows titles on Linux, making controller‑first UI changes relevant for portable gaming. (github.com) The release notes and packaging show distribution builds for version 2.21.0 landing in distro repositories, and the project bumped Electron to improve cross‑platform stability. (fedora.pkgs.org) You can download the 2.21.0 installer or grab distro packages from Heroic’s official downloads page to test the fullscreen controller mode on your handheld now.
