Unified Library
Playnite allows you to consolidate games from different platforms into a single, unified library, making it easier to manage and access your game collection.
Open Source
Being an open-source project, Playnite offers transparency and the ability for community-driven updates and features. Users can contribute to its development.
Extensible with Plugins
Playnite supports various plugins, which can extend its functionality to include additional features such as game tracking, alternative themes, and integrations with other services.
Customizable UI
The user interface in Playnite is highly customizable, allowing users to personalize their game library view according to their preferences.
Supports Multiple Game Platforms
Playnite supports integration with many gaming platforms like Steam, GOG, Epic Games, Origin, and Uplay, providing one-stop access to all your games.
Automatic Game Import
It can automatically import games from numerous platforms and even detect locally installed games, which saves time and effort.
The surprising thing is that PC is an open platform where people could compete with Steam on even terms if they actually tried. Gamers don’t like installing 5 different game launchers and Steam is the oldest one with all their games and is mostly a neutral party. I recently installed Playnite [1], an open source game library manager and its been incredible. It pulls in games from all launchers/sources and gives…

I’ve done something similar before with Playnite (an open-source PC game library manager), which has an HLTB plugin.

Playnite: The one with the most features and libraries available via addons and has a lot of options for customization. In my opinion the best one available for this purpose.

As for my LGO, the only other app I’ve installed outside of the standard launcher was Playnite to consolidate all games into one place as Legion Space doesn’t detect everything I have installed and I don’t want to manage manually adding games to their launcher.

Use playnite instead of the individual launchers.

Here is where I come in and recommend everyone check out Playnite: https://playnite.link/ When I care about supporting a developer or publisher and they offer their product on their own storefront DRM-free, I will often go there to buy. Or I buy from GoG which takes a smaller cut. Playnite lets me launch my Steam and non-Steam games in a seamless fashion. Steam still does a great job as a game installer/patch…

For anyone with any of the myriad of HDR monitors that prefers to leave desktop mode in SDR RGB, I just discovered that the excellent Playnite game launcher has a feature where you can enable HDR on a per-game basis. Simply tick the “Enable HDR support” option under “Advanced” tab for the settings of the games that you want HDR turned on for. I was previously using the now-abandoned AutoActions for this, so glad…

Not exactly what you are looking for, but I’ve been using Playnite to launch everything on my computer for years.

Playnite is a pretty good one, in my experience at least. It’s open source, fully customizable, and you can import libraries from steam, gog, epic, etc.

I setup Sunshine to open an app called playnite (playnite.link) which consolidates all of the games I have from all of the major stores (Steam, Epic, Battlenet, etc) into one controller friendly interface. This way I dont need a keyboard and mouse when I am in front of my tv.

Use playnite. They even have a skin that will make it look like the switch. It also can pull games from any launcher (steam, epic, gog, etc.)

I’m sorry for the trouble your friends got with Epic, surely other storefronts have more options / are better, but in the end – aside from the occasional issue, it’s just a launcher and personally I don’t mind wether a game is on Steam, or on Epic or U-play or GoG. They’re just launchers and I don’t even see them thanks to Playnite which merges them all :-).

No, for PC it’s on Epic. If you’re concerned with another launcher, check Playnite which merges all of them and you don’t even need to know which launcher is used in background :).

No, it’s a program. I’m running Windows on the deck.

I always hoped that some Hero Coder will develop a Steam plugin for http://playnite.link/ which will also use SteamCMD but with the acceptable and most functional looks of PlayNite with-Out the bloatware Steam became as of this update. As long as no one tries to breach the Steam-DRM, all of above told are allowed because Valve is the only developer friendly store to offer their own code also on…

Alternatively, you can use a game launcher, like Playnite, and boot your games from there.

Playnite is a highly customizable, completely free video games library that acts as a hub for your games. In that way, it’s similar to GOG Galaxy. However, Playnite comes with a lot more customization options. One of such options, which we care about for the purposes of this guide, is the ability to edit your playtime for any game. Once you’ve added a game to your library, you can edit its details, and in the…

I don’t think so, which is incredibly stupid and annoying since Diablo 3 was great at showing you all your characters’ play time. We know that this game tracks it behind the scenes because if you die as a hardcore character it’ll show you how much you played. In the meantime, best thing I know of is using the program Playnite which can track basically any kind of game across every platform (on PC), including…

Playnite for a unified game launcher (although it naturally runs into the issue with standards and I just use steam 95% of the time anyways).
