Epic says it vibe coded its new launcher because ‘programming is hard’

Epic Games has released a preview of its new launcher rebuilt using AI-driven 'vibe coding' for faster performance and a fresh design, available on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Concurrently, Epic is shifting its game development to AI-first workflows, delaying a Disney-partnered shooter and instructing teams to use AI tools like Anthropic's Claude for coding and art generation.
