Adding Games to Steam on Linux

How to add your Heroic library to Steam?

If you're facing problems in launching your Heroic games on Steam, you can take a look at Heroic Bash Launcher.

What is Heroic Bash Launcher?

Heroic Bash Launcher is a tool that helps launch your Heroic Games library from the terminal or any game manager/launcher.

It automatically creates executable bash files for each installed game. Each bash file or launch file includes the entire launch command (including parameters) of a game. Yes, it's the same launch command you see when you run heroic from the terminal and launch a game. Moreover, the parameters auto-update whenever you change the settings of a particular game on Heroic.

Adding your games to Steam

Once you've run the HeroicBashLauncher executable, you can find the launch files as .sh files for every installed game in the GameFiles directory.

Now, open Steam and add a bash file (launch file) as a Non-Steam game by performing the following steps:

1. Go to LIBRARY
2. Click ADD A GAME
3. Select Add a Non-Steam Game from the options
4. Select BROWSE on the new window that appears
5. For File Type, make sure to choose All Files
6. Navigate to ~/HeroicBashLauncher/GameFiles and choose the game's launch file
7. If you want to add more games, repeat steps 4-6
8. Finally, click on ADD SELECTED PROGRAMS

You're all setup!
