Epic Games claims its new "vibe coded" launcher runs 46% faster than Steam from cold start to store page AI was "used as a tool as part of [its] development process" to "allow a small team to rewrite the code base and be able to launch it faster across platforms" Epic Games has released a beta version of its new launcher, claiming it is 46% faster than Steam from cold start to the store page. The launcher, currently available in preview mode, is also reportedly 14% faster than its competitor when restoring from system tray to library. "The library loads 30 times faster [than in the previous launcher]," Martin Keely, vice president and general manager of Epic Games Store, told IGN. In an internal message seen by Bloomberg, one of the game's directors told staff: "No more hand-written code." The director also said all of the game's art would be "generated with full AI workflows." Epic communications director Jake Jones stated that the firm is "embracing AI-accelerated development, led by Epic developers who are the visionaries and creative drivers for everything we do." On social media, Epic CEO Tim Sweeney wrote: "We have a huge pivot underway here at Epic, moving developers around to retool for maximum AI acceleration." "The aim isn't to do the same stuff with fewer people, but to enable everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff, and to bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal."
