Create a launcher

A launcher is the desktop application your players use to discover, install, update, and start games.

Create the launcher

1

Open Launchers

Sign in to the dashboard and open the Launchers section.
2

Create a new launcher

Enter a clear name and a unique slug. The slug is used as a stable identifier and should not be changed casually after release.
3

Select a template

Choose one of the templates available to your workspace and plan.
4

Save the initial configuration

Create the launcher before adding games and detailed content.

Configure the presentation

Depending on the selected template and plan, you can configure:
  • Logo and launcher icon.
  • Brand colors and visual assets.
  • Navigation items.
  • Background image or video.
  • News entries.
  • Patch notes.
  • Maintenance messages.
  • Game library presentation.
  • Login and registration screens.
Template capabilities are not always identical. Only configure fields supported by the selected template.

Add games

A launcher can contain one or more games according to your plan limits. After creating the launcher, continue with Create a game.

Before publishing

Review:
  • Launcher name and slug.
  • Logo clarity at small sizes.
  • Icon format and transparency.
  • Text contrast.
  • Navigation labels.
  • Default language.
  • Empty states when no news or patch notes exist.
  • Installation and update behavior with a test account.
The launcher is ready when its identity is complete and at least one valid game is assigned.
