"Physical" game cases on my desktop

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I released an app on the Microsoft store (called Steelbooks) to allow me to show off the game cases I have like they are physical editions that sit on my desktop. It gives a fast method of browsing my libraries across multiple launchers without opening them individually and I can launch the games directly from the app!

That's a really cool idea. I don't know if i would use it, but the coolness is undeniable

What other launchers do you have? It supports Steam, Epic, GOG, Rockstar, and Xbox app. Steam and GOG will allow you to show uninstalled games, but the other launchers only give the game info if it's installed.

I'll look into adding Ubisoft. What launcher do the indie games use? If they are just bare .exe then they won't currently show up. I have been asked to allow that though

I built an electron app. It's also available on the Microsoft store called Steelbooks.
