Mythic is only available for macOS 14+.

An open-source macOS game launcher to play Windows games through our implementation of Apple's Game Porting Toolkit - supporting many launchers, currently including Epic Games.

How is this different from launchers like Heroic?

Mythic distinguishes itself through our unique engine, a blend of Apple's game porting toolkit and other enhancements, including DXVK and Winetricks. Our performance is expected to outshine Heroic's due to the superior native integration facilitated by Apple's game porting toolkit, resulting in a significantly enhanced gaming experience. On the other hand, Heroic relies primarily on externally-sourced tools, such as CrossOver. Additionally, Mythic is written in Swift, Apple's proprietary programming language. This not only contributes to a more native appearance but also ensures significantly higher performance on macOS. In contrast, Heroic utilizes Electron, which consumes more RAM and can overall be clunky to use from time to time.
