Manage All Your Games in One Place — Steam, Epic, GOG, Xbox and More

If you buy games across multiple stores, you're probably juggling four or five different launchers. Steam for most things, Epic for free games, GOG for DRM-free titles, Xbox Game Pass for subscriptions, Ubisoft Connect for Ubisoft games. Playnite replaces all of those launchers with a single free interface.

All your libraries show up in one place with cover art, ratings, genres, playtime stats, and completion status. Launch any game — from any platform — without switching apps. Works with Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, EA App, Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, Ubisoft Connect, and dozens more through the plugin system.

The fullscreen mode is designed for couch gaming with a controller. Browse your library on a big TV screen without a mouse, navigate with the thumbstick, and launch games exactly like a console. Think of it as Steam Big Picture mode — but for every game service you own.

Emulator support means your retro game collection lives in the same library as your modern Steam games. Configure RetroArch, RPCS3, Dolphin, or any other emulator and they all appear alongside your PC titles with the same cover art treatment.

Playnite stores all data locally. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud sync — your game library information stays on your machine. MIT licensed, open source, and actively maintained.
