Yesterday, a new "vibe-coded" version of the Epic Games Launcher was released in preview, and the company did not miss the chance to make a snarky remark against its direct competitor, highlighting how the new version of the launcher is 46% faster than Steam in a cold start scenario, and 14% faster in a restore from System Tray to Library scenario. Valve did not take this silently, and took up the challenge in the best way possible: making Steam faster.
