Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher v2.13.0

Heroic 2.13 "Dorry & Broggy"

on GitHub

HI!

The day has come for a new Heroic release and here we are, with one of the biggest in recent times.
This new release brings tons of new features and improvements for GOG games which makes it more feature-complete than ever!

We also started a partnership with GOG and now every game you buy from the GOG store inside Heroic will give us a commission, so it is another way of supporting the project. :)
The link is also available at https://heroicgameslauncher.com/donate if you prefer to purchase games in your web browser.
