To make things easier for you, CachyOS has grouped all the necessary packages for gaming into one meta package that includes all the necessary dependencies and libraries for gaming in Linux and a separate package for the tools and launchers/stores. This makes the installation and setup process for gaming faster and less convoluted for everyone.

```sh title='Run the following command in a terminal'
sudo pacman -S cachyos-gaming-meta
