What it is

Nexon Launcher is a free desktop application for downloading and playing Nexon games. It brings Nexon games together in one global launcher and is available for Windows and macOS. Users must sign in to a Nexon account to download a game. Nexon’s Windows guide directs users to download and run NexonLauncherSetup.exe; its macOS instructions say MapleStory.pkg installs the Launcher. Game clients can update in the background and patch to the latest version when needed. A Repair Installation option checks game files and downloads or updates missing or damaged files. Players can link Steam and Nexon accounts so a Steam launch automatically signs in to the linked Nexon account. Nexon support addresses antivirus false positives involving the Launcher or Nexon Game Security, including exclusion and firewall guidance. Support tickets about these issues should include the antivirus name, troubleshooting summary and an error screenshot. Nexon was founded in 2006 and is headquartered in El Segundo, California, United States.
