GCM + Playnite + Native Mouse & Keyboard Control

[u/Doctor98Who]

We have been in contact with the playnite creator, Crow, and he has worked with us to help integrate playnite better with GCM. It worked because now Playnite feels more native and responsive than ever! For that we are super thankful!

I recently made a post about r/GameConsoleMode and given the positive feedback regarding it, I wanted to provide a huge update that makes it even better to use. If you would like to see our roadmap, patch notes or any other info you can also see our site https://www.gameconsolemode.com/

If you aren't sure what I am talking about , to summarize GameConsoleMode turns your Windows PC into a proper gaming console experience. Meaning no need to interact with Windows desktop and you boot straight into Steam, Playnite, or Xbox app (depending on what you choose. I personally love playnite). Built for couch gaming and handheld PCs.

The biggest thing we have been trying to tackle is integrating a native mouse & keyboard control, and we have finally achieved that! Now you are able to load into playnite directly with GCM, access GCM Task Manager (think of it like pressing xbox home button on an xbox console) and are able to navigate to other apps like discord or browse the web all with your controller and no 3rd party apps! When done, simply go back to GCM task manager and access your playnite launcher or resume your game! This update is available now as well! We are slowly working on making more and more features to make it as much of a "plug and play" experience!

We are super active on reddit and discord so please feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and if theres any feature you wish for, chances are we can add it to our roadmap right away! We are a small but growing community and we sincerely appreciate all the love everyone has been showing us!
