Heroic 2.9.0 'Boa Hancock'

Hey everyone!

Heroic Games Launcher version 2.9.0 is finally here, and we're excited to announce a ton of new features and improvements that we think you'll love.

First and foremost, we've integrated Amazon Games into the launcher. This means that you can now access all of your Amazon Prime Games from within the Heroic launcher, making it easier than ever to manage and play all of your favorite games in one place.

We've also added DRM support for web apps on Windows and macOS. This means that you can now run streaming services like Netflix, AppleTV, and Crunchyroll (to watch One Piece, ofc) without having to worry about getting errors.

Another big addition to this release is our new Apple Gaming Port toolkit detection. This feature makes it easier to use Apple's GPTK on the Heroic launcher to play DX11 and DX12 games.

We've also made a number of other changes and fixes in this release, including improvements to the launcher's performance and stability, as well as bug fixes and other optimizations. This release took us a couple of months to put together, and we're confident that it represents a significant step forward for the Heroic Games Launcher.

We hope you enjoy using the new version of the launcher, and as always, please let us know if you have any feedback or suggestions for future updates. Thanks for your continued support, and happy gaming!
