2K Eliminates Launcher from Steam and Epic Games Titles

2K Games has made a significant move by removing its launcher from all of its games available on Steam and the Epic Games Store.

Just last month, the company revealed plans to retire this technology in November, and as part of that process, they’ve also phased out a beta version from Sid Meier’s Civilization 5.

In a recent blog post, 2K explained, “We’ve handled most of the work, but there’s one last step you might need to take. Start by fully closing and reopening Steam—not just minimizing with the X button—to ensure the changes take effect.”

They also mentioned, “Rebooting your PC can be a foolproof way to guarantee everything’s in order. For Epic users, ensure you’ve installed the latest game update.”

Gamers can look forward to seamless access with games like BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, BioShock Infinite, and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, as they will launch directly as soon as you hit play.
