    i never had to do this for original games on any os.

    windows needs this sometimes if you pirate, so does linux.

        in any case you can download it from microsoft and run it to install.

        OR, to make it simpler some launchers like heroic offer an option to automatically install it, it should be under the option winetricks or similar. dunno if thats your case tho.

                in my experience, as stated before, this doesnt happen automatically every time on either platform.
