Play all your games on Linux

Visit Lutris

Lutris is an open gaming platform for Linux that installs and launches video games from many eras and systems. It combines emulators, engine re-implementations and compatibility layers into a single interface, and connects to stores like Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store and Humble Bundle to bring game libraries together.

The client provides runners, which are the programs used to run games, and can connect to services such as Humble Bundle, GOG and Steam. Game downloads and installations are automated and can be modified through user-made scripts. Lutris also integrates with game launchers including Battle.net, Epic Games Store, EA App and Ubisoft Connect. It is built using open source technology and uses Linux and Vulkan.
