Add an Epic Games GTA V Launcher Shortcut to Steam

Source-checked About 10 minutes

Answer

Use Steam’s Add a Non-Steam Game feature to add the Epic Games Launcher or an existing GTA V shortcut. This creates a Steam shortcut only; GTA V ownership, updates, and account access remain with Epic and Rockstar.

Choose the launcher or game shortcut

In Steam, select Add a Non-Steam Game and choose the Epic Games Launcher or the existing GTA V shortcut.

Add the Steam library shortcut

Confirm the selection so it appears in your Steam Library.

Keep Epic and Rockstar access intact

Start the shortcut from Steam, but manage ownership, updates, and Rockstar account issues through Epic and Rockstar.

Verify the result

Launch the Steam shortcut and verify Epic and Rockstar authenticate the intended account and GTA V starts without changing its update or save ownership.

If it does not work

  • If the shortcut breaks, launch Epic and GTA V directly, then recreate the library entry. Do not copy manifests, executables, or ownership files between stores.
