Download Heroic

Q: Is Heroic safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files. On 2026-11-06 we downloaded the latest 6 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 6 of 6 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 4 valid, 2 not signed. VirusTotal: 4 of 63 engines flagged Heroic-2.22.4-Setup-x64.exe (and 4 other files). Read the full report before you run it. Reports exist for 5 of 6 files, so the rating does not cover the rest. Our rating: High risk. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Heroic’s official website.

Q: Does Heroic update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether Heroic updates itself, and for Mac, the app is listed as updating itself, so an older build will likely offer, or simply install, the newest release when you open it. To keep an old version, look for an automatic-update setting in Heroic (see Heroic’s documentation) and turn it off before you rely on it.

Q: Does Heroic cost anything?

No. Heroic is free and open source (license: GPL-3.0).

Q: Which versions of Heroic are listed here, and how far back?

For Windows, we list 50 versions, from 2.0.1 up to 2.22.4 (the catalog has 59, and we keep the newest 50), and for Mac, only the current release (2.22.4) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing. This page shows the newest 20 Windows versions; the JSON and Markdown files for this app list all 50 Windows versions.

Q: Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Heroic’s official website.

We host no installers. Every download link goes to its original source. For this software we downloaded the files from that source ourselves, re-computed each checksum and checked the code signature where our tools could, as shown above. A passing check shows a file is the one that was published; it is not a guarantee it is free of problems. For more information, visit our Security and Trust Center.

Release notes

Hi! This version gives several improvements and fixes for Heroic overall while we work on some other big features that are already in testing/review like the itch.io, humble bundle and Steam integration, besides a new "plugin" system that will make it easier for people to add new integrations like Emulators support and many more in the future. Even though this is mostly a Hotfix, this bring some new nice features like the possibility of installing Proton-CachyOS, navigating the Epic and GOG store with the controller, new Discounts tabs for our new affiliates for Humble Bundle and Green Man Gaming and we also moved the Plausible Analytics to our own Self-Hosted intance to maintain 100% control of our data.

Release notes

Hi! This Hotfix should address some issues some people are having with Heroic randomly showing error dialogs that are not really errors just some harmless but scary python logs. It should also make Heroic compatible (at least for Epic games) with old version of python3, even though we added support for it we believe everyone should upgrade their Python version to version 3.12 or newer to avoid other issues especially with the GOG runner. Besides those, there are a few more backend and UI fixes as you can see bellow: Changelog - [UI] Show update badge on gamecard only if controller is connected by @flavioislima in #5361 - [FIX] Change DXVK macos fix from previous release by @arielj in #5359 - [FIX] False positive "an error has occurred" messages on bleeding-edge Linux distros by @CommandMC in #5365 - [Feat] Automatically pause and resume downloads based connectivity status by @flavioislima in #5364 - [FIX] Use correct partition and clear data on epic logout by @arielj in #5354 - [FIX] Add a launch default option when none is available besides DLCs by @flavioislima in #5366 - [UX] Fix PATH on mac for intel homebrew and macports when checking winetricks deps by @arielj in #5353 - [UX] Show link to instructions to install winetricks deps on macos by @arielj in #5352 - [i18n] Updated Translations by @weblate in #5346 - [UX] Hide main window when quitting by @CommandMC in #5262 - [TECH] Updated legendary to latest version 0.20.42 New Contributors - @brenobaptista made their first…

Heroic FAQ

Is Heroic safe to download from here?

We host no installers. Every download button goes to the original source, and the checks below were run on those files.

On 2026-11-06 we downloaded the latest 6 installers from those sources and re-computed the SHA-256 of each: 6 of 6 match the package catalog’s value. Code signatures: 4 valid, 2 not signed.

VirusTotal: 4 of 63 engines flagged Heroic-2.22.4-Setup-x64.exe (and 4 other files). Read the full report before you run it.

Reports exist for 5 of 6 files, so the rating does not cover the rest.

Our rating: High risk. No check is a guarantee. See the security details above and our Security and Trust Center. Publisher’s website: Heroic’s official website.

Does Heroic update itself after I install an old version?

For Windows, we have no information on whether Heroic updates itself, and for Mac, the app is listed as updating itself, so an older build will likely offer, or simply install, the newest release when you open it. To keep an old version, look for an automatic-update setting in Heroic (see Heroic’s documentation) and turn it off before you rely on it.

Does Heroic cost anything?

No. Heroic is free and open source (license: GPL-3.0).

Which versions of Heroic are listed here, and how far back?

For Windows, we list 50 versions, from 2.0.1 up to 2.22.4 (the catalog has 59, and we keep the newest 50), and for Mac, only the current release (2.22.4) is listed, because older Mac builds are not kept in the package listing. This page shows the newest 20 Windows versions; the JSON and Markdown files for this app list all 50 Windows versions.

Where do the download links go?

They go straight to the source named in the package catalog, with nothing added by us: for Windows, to github.com, and for Mac, to github.com. We host no files. Compare the SHA-256 shown next to each file with the one you compute after downloading. Publisher’s website: Heroic’s official website.
