Install Epic Games Launcher on macOS

While using your Mac, open up your browser of choice and navigate to store.epicgames.com On this page, select to download the Epic Games launcher for your Mac. The download should only take a few seconds, and your browser can help locate your downloaded files.

Epic Games Launcher Settings

When this is done, the launcher will open up. Click on your account icon on the top right and select Settings. I prefer to disable the Run in background option, as I don’t use the Epic Games launcher often and don’t want it to run all the time. Below, enable the Allow Installs While Editors Are Running, Enable Cloud Saves, and Throttle Downloads options. I like to limit my download bandwidth for the Epic Games launcher to prevent other apps from having network-related issues while the launcher is running. I will cap my download speed to 5000 KB/s.

Next, I prefer to disable Desktop Notifications for games and news.
