I know there is a universal installer for m1 Macs, but sadly all links are pointing me to legacy program called “epic games launcher” which is built for very old Apple devices. How to install Unreal Engine without installing Rosetta?

Unreal Engine is native Apple Silicon as of 5.2, but the Epic Games Launcher is still Intel only. You’re going to need Rosetta eventually, there’s no avoiding it…-

I would rather switch to an alternative game engine than install Rosetta. Developers had enough time to compile for m1 and legacy intel-only programs like “epic games launcher” should not be used. But it’s just my opinion, what can I know about compiling programs.

You could just build from source, but without the Epic Games Launcher you’ll have difficulty with marketplace content like plug-ins. I’m on my second Apple Silicon laptop now and have zero Rosetta issues. There are a very small number of apps that haven’t seen updates; not sure why Epic isn’t updating the launcher, though the layoffs this week might give us a clue…
Few years later and here we are - still no change - how hard that is to compile ONCE (for each stable version) for Sillicon instead of doing that zizzillion times by every user ??? Here we can see how is the real support - and no - argument that “there’s no market, or just few users…” is really bold. No tools, no users 
We are just periodically checking and yet doesn’t make sense for us. And we are actually glad - we don’t have to experience reluctance when we face serious issues later.

true, also if they made the epic games launcher native for silicon they would enable also some macOS games from their epic games store… they are just lazy at this point
