Howdy itch.io Community!
I’m pleased to announce that as of this morning the itch desktop shopper is on the market to obtain on the Epic Games Store. If you like to launch your sport launchers by means of different sport launchers then that is excellent for you! This is identical shopper that we’ve got hosted on our website so that you don’t must re-download or change something.
Why did we do that?
They reached out to us just a few months again about how they have been exploring including apps to their retailer. We thought it was a humorous thought, but in addition a superb alternative to probably expose much more folks to itch.io, because the EGS has a pretty big viewers.
How do updates work?
When you put in the app on EGS it’ll really obtain our personal installer. It will use our personal infrastructure to put in the most recent model and preserve it up to date fully unbiased of EGS. Updates won’t be delivered by means of EGS (until we have to replace the installer). This implies that if you wish to replace the itch app you simply must open it. It can even be put in onto your pc like every other piece of software program, so you should use the “Add Remove Programs” performance of your OS to uninstall the app. Once put in, you possibly can take away the installer from EGS by uninstalling it there. It won’t influence the system set up of the app.
Do I must do something?
Nope. This is only a new place for folks to find and obtain our app. Nothing about how builders or gamers entry itch.io is altering. You can fully ignore this announcement!
