Epic Games recently asserted that its updated launcher is 46% faster than Steam. The company attributed this performance improvement to the use of AI-driven programming, a process they described as vibe coding.
The announcement triggered significant criticism from the gaming community. Many users expressed skepticism and mockery regarding the reliance on AI for development, with some questioning why the company would publicly highlight such methods.
Beyond the development process, users reported technical issues with the new launcher preview. As of October 15, 2026, reports indicate that the interface suffers from a bug causing a shadowing effect when moved in windowed mode.
Many gamers remain unimpressed by the speed claims, asserting that Steam remains the superior platform regardless of launch times. Critics have dismissed the update as insufficient to convince them to switch from their preferred service.
