We are seriously looking into ARM support for both Linux and Windows.

But we also need a github action runner for arm64 and for now I think only paid ones support it. BEcause we need to compile also legendary, nile and gogdl in arm64.

We also need to add some dialogs on startup saying that BOX64 is needed to play most games since Wine and Proton won't run on ARM64 afaik.

So yeah, it is planned and we might have it, but might take a while, perhaps in the second semester we might start releasing them.

sure, i will setup up a GitHub and compile them. i have a github for running Heroic on android termux debian proot, current issue is that electron 27.0.0+wcus is not available for Linux arm64. while normal electron 27 works on x86_64 is does not seem to work on arm64.

This is marked as completed, does that mean there is an official arm64 release for linux?

It was not completed, due to many of the underlining software need x86 to run x86 programs, it seems hard to divide the program. I have Heroic appimage running on ARM64 and it work well. (still fight with anti cheat)

We plan to provide ARM binaires for Linux and Windows in next release. At least Electron application will be ARM, we'll see how far we can get with helper binaries we use (legendary, gogdl, nile, comet etc...)
